    24and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

    25whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

    26For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

    27who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

    28for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that `is' after the law `appointeth' the Son -- to the age having been perfected.

    11If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

    12for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,

    13for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,

    14for `it is' evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

    15And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

    16who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

    17for He doth testify -- `Thou `art' a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

    18for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

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

    20And inasmuch as `it is' not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests,

    21and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou `art' a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')
