Hebrews 7:19-28

19For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did ; by which we draw near to God.1 20And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest : 21(For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek:)2 22By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue by reason of death: 24But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.3 25Therefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.4 26For such an high priest was befitting for us, who is holy, blameless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.5
