Hebrews 7:19-25 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ (for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God. ²⁰ And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath ²¹ (for they indeed have been made priests without an oath, but he with an oath by him that saith of him, The Lord sware and will not repent himself, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek), ²² by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. ²³ And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing: ²⁴ but he, because he abideth for ever, hath his priesthood unchangeable. ²⁵ Wherefore also he is able to save to the uttermost them that draw near unto God through him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
