Hebrews 7:16-19 who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of carnal requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ who has become a priest not on the basis of a law of carnal requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life. ¹⁷ For it is declared of him, "You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." ¹⁸ On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness ¹⁹ (for the law made nothing perfect); and on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
