Hebrews 7:23-28 Furthermore, indeed, many are the folks having become priests, in succession – because of predecessors, one after another, being cut off (thus: hindered) by death from continuing in abiding near (remaining at the side),

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ Furthermore, indeed, many are the folks having become priests, [in succession] – because of [predecessors], one after another, being cut off (thus: hindered) by death from continuing in abiding near (remaining at the side), ²⁴ but He, on account of His continuously remaining on into the Age, constantly holds (continuously possesses) the unable-to-be-walked-along (or: the not-going-to-the-side; inviolate; infallible) priesthood. ²⁵ Consequently He is also continuously able and powerful to be constantly delivering (continuously setting-free, restoring to health and making whole) – unto the finishing of all (unto the completed goal of everything; into the midst of the all-perfection; unto the end of all; into the final act and destiny of all) – those folks habitually approaching God through Him [Who is] always living to be repeatedly effecting encounters over them and to hit the internal target. ²⁶ For a Chief Priest such as this One was, and continues to be, fitting (appropriate; proper) for us: loyal and dedicated, benign (without bad quality; harmless; without bad form; not ugly), unstained (undefiled), having been parted (severed; separated) away from those failing to hit the target (those making errors; the sinners), even being birthed higher than the atmospheres and heavens, ²⁷ Who is not having daily necessity, just as the chief priests, to repeatedly offer up sacrifices over their own failures (errors; sins) before, and after that, those of the people. For this He performed just once (once for all; on one [occasion]), offering up Himself [other MSS: bringing (or: carrying) Himself toward {God, or, us} (or: presenting Himself)]. ²⁸ You see, the Law (or: custom) is continually placing (setting down) people having weakness (want of strength) [as] chief priests. But the word pertaining to the sworn oath (or: which was the act of taking an oath) [which came] after the Law [appoints] a Son [Who is] One having been finished, perfected, brought to the goal and is now complete, [leading] unto (or: on into; into the midst of) the Age [of the Messiah]!
