Hebrews 7:17-24

JuliaSmith(i) 17 For he testifies, Thou a priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec. 18 For there is truly an annulling of the command going before by its weakness and unprofitableness. 19 (For the law completed nothing,) but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God. 20 And as much as not without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath: 21 (For they truly without sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath became priests; but he with the sacrifice sanctioned by solemn oath by him, saying to him, The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou priest forever, according to the order of Melchisedec:) 22 According to this, Jesus has become security of a better covenant. 23 And they truly are become many priests, by reason of death being hindered from remaining: 24 And he, because he remains forever, has an inviolable priesthood.
