Hebrews 7:12-21
-
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
-
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
-
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
-
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
-
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
-
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
-
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
-
19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
-
20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
-
21 (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
