Hebrews 7:18-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:

¹⁹ (For the law brought nothing to perfection,) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.

²⁰ And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;

²¹ But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever.)

²² By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

²³ And the others indeed were made many priests, because by reason of death they were not suffered to continue:

²⁴ But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood,

²⁵ Whereby he is able also to save for ever them that come to God by him; always living to make intercession for us.
