On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20 And since this was not done without a sworn affirmation– for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation, 21 but Jesus did so with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him,“The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever’”– 22 accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
