Hebrews:7:11-28
noyes@Hebrews:7:11 @ If indeed perfection had been by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people hath received the Law,) what further need was there that a different priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called alter the order of Aaron?
noyes@Hebrews:7:12 @ For if the priesthood is changed, there takes place of necessity a change of the law.
noyes@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, of which no one hath given attendance at the altar;
noyes@Hebrews:7:14 @ for it is wellknown that our Lord sprang out of Judah, in regard to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
noyes@Hebrews:7:15 @ And it is still more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest,
noyes@Hebrews:7:16 @ who hath been made, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.
noyes@Hebrews:7:17 @ For it is testified of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek."
noyes@Hebrews:7:18 @ For on the one hand there takes place an annulling of the commandment which went before, on account of its weakness and unprofitableness,
noyes@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the Law perfected nothing,and on the other, the bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw near to God.
noyes@Hebrews:7:20 @ And inasmuch as it was not without an oath that he was made priest,
noyes@Hebrews:7:21 @ for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him who said to him, "The Lord swore, and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever,"
noyes@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant.
noyes@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they indeed have been many priests, because they have been prevented from continuing by reason of death;
noyes@Hebrews:7:24 @ but he, because he abideth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood;
noyes@Hebrews:7:25 @ wherefore he is able also to save to the utmost those who come to God through him, since he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
noyes@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such a highpriest also became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
noyes@Hebrews:7:27 @ who hath not necessity daily, as the highpriests, to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; for this he did once for all, when he offered up himself.
noyes@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the Law maketh men highpriests, who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the Law, maketh the Son, who is perfected for ever.
