Hebrews 7:23-28
231The former priestsG2409, on the oneG3303 handG3303, existedG1510G1096 in greaterG4183 numbersG4183 becauseG1223 they were preventedG2967 by deathG2288 from continuingG3887; 242Jesus, on the otherG1161 handG1161, becauseG1223 He continuesG3306 3foreverG165, holdsG2192 His priesthoodG2420 permanentlyG531. 25ThereforeG3606 He is alsoG2532 ableG1410 to 4saveG4982 5foreverG1519G3838 thoseG3588 who 6comeG4334 toG4334 GodG2316 throughG1223 Him, since He alwaysG3842 livesG2198 to 7makeG1793 intercessionG1793 for them.
26For it was fittingG4241 for us to have suchG5108 aG5108 8highG749 priestG749, 9holyG3741, 10innocentG172, undefiledG283, separatedG5563 from sinnersG268, and 11exaltedG1096G5308 above the heavensG3772; 27whoG3739 hasG2192 noG3756 dailyG2596G2250 needG318, likeG5618 thoseG3588 highG749 priestsG749, to 12offerG399 upG399 sacrificesG2378, 13firstG4387 for His ownG2398 sinsG266 and thenG1899 for the sins of the peopleG2992, becauseG1063 He didG4160 thisG3778 14onceG2178 forG2178 allG2178 time when He 15offeredG399 upG399 HimselfG1438. 28For the LawG3551 appointsG2525 menG444 as highG749 priestsG749 16who are weakG769, but the wordG3056 of the oathG3728, which came afterG3326 the LawG3551, appoints 17a SonG5207, who has been 18madeG5048 perfectG5048 foreverG165.
