Hebrews:7:11 @
Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (
for under it hath the people received the law ),
what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek ,
and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron ?
asv @
Hebrews:7:12 @
For the priesthood being changed ,
there is made of necessity a change also of the law .
asv @
Hebrews:7:13 @
For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe ,
from which no man hath given attendance at the altar .
asv @
Hebrews:7:14 @
For it is evident that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah ;
as to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priests .
asv @
Hebrews:7:15 @
And what we say is yet more abundantly evident ,
if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest ,
asv @
Hebrews:7:16 @
who hath been made ,
not after the law of a carnal commandment ,
but after the power of an endless life :
asv @
Hebrews:7:17 @
for it is witnessed of him ,
Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek .
asv @
Hebrews:7:18 @
For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness
asv @
Hebrews:7:19 @(
for the law made nothing perfect ),
and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope ,
through which we draw nigh unto God .
asv @
Hebrews:7:20 @
And inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath
asv @
Hebrews:7:21 @(
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 );
asv @
Hebrews:7:22 @
by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant .
asv @
Hebrews:7:23 @
And they indeed have been made priests many in number ,
because that by death they are hindered from continuing :
asv @
Hebrews:7:24 @
but he ,
because he abideth for ever ,
hath his priesthood unchangeable .
asv @
Hebrews:7:25 @
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 .
asv @
Hebrews:7:26 @
For such a high priest became us ,
holy ,
guileless ,
undefiled ,
separated from sinners ,
and made higher than the heavens ;
asv @
Hebrews:7:27 @
who needeth not daily ,
like those high priests ,
to offer up sacrifices ,
first for his own sins ,
and then for the sins of the people :
for this he did once for all ,
when he offered up himself .
asv @
Hebrews:7:28 @
For the law appointeth men high priests ,
having infirmity ;
but the word of the oath ,
which was after the law ,
appointeth a Son ,
perfected for evermore .
