ACV(i)
11 If indeed therefore perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people had received the law), what further need is there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity a change of law also occurs.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, from which no man has attended to the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord arose out of Judah, regarding which tribe Moses spoke nothing about the priesthood.
15 And it is still far more evident, if according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest,
16 who has become, not according to a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
17 For he testifies, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
18 For indeed there becomes an annulment of a preceding commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19 (for the law made nothing fully perfect), and an introduction of a better hope, through which we approach God.
20 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath. For actually those who become priests are so without an oath,
21 but he with an oath, because of him who says to him, The Lord swore and will not change his mind, Thou are a priest into the age according to the order of Melchizedek.
22 By so much, Jesus has become the surety of a better covenant.
23 And of course those who have become priests are more, because of being prevented to continue by death,
24 but he, because of his remaining into the age, has the priesthood unchangeable.
25 Whereupon he is able also to save to the uttermost those who come to God through him, being always alive in order to intercede on their behalf.
