*
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood , (
for under it the people received the law ,)
what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec ,
and not be called after the order of Aaron ?
*
For the priesthood being changed ,
there is made of necessity a change also of the law .
*
For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe ,
of which no man gave attendance at the altar .
*
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda ;
of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood .
*
And it is yet far more evident :
for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest ,
*
Who is made ,
not after the law of a carnal commandment ,
but after the power of an endless life .
*
For he testifieth ,
Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec .
*
For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof .
*
For the law made nothing perfect ,
but the bringing in of a better hope did ;
by the which we draw nigh unto God .
