16who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
17for it is testified, "You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek."
18For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20Inasmuch as it is not without the taking of an oath,
21for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, `You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek`".
22By so much has Jesus become the collateral of a better covenant.
