Hebrews 7:19-25 for the law made nothing perfect, but was the introduction of a better hope through which we draw nigh to God.

Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ for the law made nothing perfect, but was the introduction of a better hope through which we draw nigh to God. ²⁰ And as he was not [constituted] without swearing,— ²¹ for they were made priests without swearing, but he with swearing by him who says to him, The Lord swore, and he will not change, You are a priest forever;— ²² by so much is Jesus the pledge of a better covenant. ²³ And they indeed were made many priests, on account of being forbidden by death to continue; ²⁴ but he, on account of his continuing for ever, has a priesthood which passes not away, ²⁵ whence also he is able to save forever those who come to God through him, always living to intercede for them.
