58:007:017 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. 58:007:018 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. 58:007:019 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. 58:007:020 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: 58:007:021 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) 58:007:022 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 58:007:023 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 58:007:024 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. 58:007:025 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. 58:007:026 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 58:007:027 Who 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. 58:007:028 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. 58:008:001 Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 58:008:002 A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 58:008:003 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. 58:008:004 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 58:008:005 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. 58:008:006 But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. 58:008:007 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.
