10 For he was yet in the loins of his father Abraham, when Melchizedek met him.
11 If now therefore perfection came by the priesthood of the Levites — for under that priesthood the people received the law — what needed it furthermore that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchizedek, and not after the order of Aaron?
12 Now no doubt, if the priesthood be translated, then of necessity must the law be translated also.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth unto another tribe, of which never man served at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprung of the tribe of Judah, of which tribe spake Moses nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet a more evident thing, if after the similitude of Melchizedek there arise another priest,
16 which is not made after the law of the carnal commandment: but after the power of the endless life.
17 For he testifieth, "Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek."
18 Then the commandment that went afore, is disannulled, because of her weakness and unprofitableness.
19 For the law made no thing perfect: but was an introduction of a better hope, by which hope, we draw nigh unto God.
20 And for this cause it is a better hope, that it was not promised without an oath.
21 Those priests were made without an oath: but this priest with an oath, by him that said unto him, "The Lord sware, and will not repent: Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."
22 And for that cause was Jesus an establisher of a better testament.
