Hebrews 7:19-25

Goodspeed(i) 19 (for there was nothing final about the Law), and a better hope begins to dawn, through which we may approach God. 20 And in proportion as Jesus was not appointed priest without God's making oath to it, 21 for God took no oath in appointing the old priests, but he made oath to his appointment, when he said to him, "The Lord has sworn it and he will not change; You are a priest forever!" 22 the agreement which he guarantees is better than the old one, 23 The old priests too had to be numerous, because death prevented their continuing in office. 24 But he continues forever, and so his priesthood is untransferable. 25 Therefore, he is able to save forever all who come to God through him, because he lives and intercedes for them forever.
