Hebrews - ch 7 v 21 - 28
- (For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);
- By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.
- And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;
- But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.
- So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.
- It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:
- Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.
- The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.
