19 for the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw near unto God.
20 And even more, inasmuch as it is not without an oath
21 (for the others indeed without an oath were made priests, but this one with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec);
22 by so much better testament is Jesus made surety.
23 And the others, truly, were many priests because they were not able to continue by reason of death:
24 but this man, because he continues forever, has the intransmissible priesthood.
25 Therefore he is able also to save to the uttermost those that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.
