12For yf the priesthood be translated, of necessitie also there is made a translation of the lawe.
13For he of whom these thynges are spoken, parteyneth vnto another tribe, of which no man stoode at the aulter.
14For it is euident that our Lord sprong out of Iuda, of which tribe spake Moyses nothyng concernyng priesthood:
15And it is yet a farre more euidet thing, yf after the similitude of Melchisedech there aryse another priest,
16Which is not made after the lawe of the carnall commaundement, but after the power of the endlesse lyfe:
17For he testifieth that thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech.
18For there is truely a disanulling of the commaundement goyng before, for the weakenesse and vnprofitablenesse therof.
19For the lawe made nothyng perfect, but was the bryngyng in of a better hope, by the whiche we drawe nygh vnto God.
20And in as much as that was not without an oth (For those priestes were made without an oth:
21But this priest with an oth, by hym that saide vnto him: The Lord sware and wyll not repent, thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech.)
22By so much was Iesus made a suertie of a better testament.
23And among them many were made priestes, because they were forbidden by death to endure.
24But this man, because he endureth euer, hath an vnchaungeable priesthood.
25Wherefore he is able also euer to saue them to the vttermost that come vnto God by hym, seyng he euer lyueth to make intercession for them.
26For such an hye priest became vs, whiche is holy, harmelesse, vndefyled, seperate from sinners, and made hygher then heauens:
27Whiche nedeth not dayly, as those hie priestes, to offer vp sacrifice, first for his owne sinnes, and then for the peoples: for that dyd he once, when he offered vp hym selfe.
28For the lawe maketh men hye priestes which haue infirmitie: but the word of the oth which (was) after the lawe (maketh) the sonne, whiche is perfecte for euermore.
