16who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
17for it is witnessed [of him], Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw nigh unto God.

23And they indeed have been made priests many in number, because that by death they are hindered from continuing:

25Wherefore 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.
26For such a high priest became us, holy, guileless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27who {G2192} needeth not {G2596} 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.

2a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, {G2532} not man.

6But now hath he obtained a ministry the more excellent, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which hath been enacted upon better promises.
7For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then would no {G302} place have been sought for a second.
