For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness,

¹⁹

And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath

²¹

(for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him: "The LORD has sworn And will not relent, 'You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek' "),

²²

by so much more Jesus has become a surety of a better covenant.

²³

²⁴

But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood.

²⁵

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
