Hebrews 7:16-18

New Life Version

¹⁶ Christ did not become a Religious Leader by coming from the family group of Levi as the Law said had to be. He became the Religious Leader by the power of a life that never ends. ¹⁷ The Holy Writings say this about Christ, “You are a Religious Leader forever like Melchizedek.” ^(A)

¹⁸ God put the Law of Moses aside. It was weak and could not be used.
