Hebrews 7:20-25
New American Standard Bible
20 And to the extent that it was not without an oath 21 (for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him,
22 by the same extent Jesus also has become the [a](D)guarantee of (E)a better covenant.
23 [b]The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing; 24 [c]Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues (F)forever, holds His priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore He is also able to (G)save [d]forever those who (H)come to God through Him, since He always lives to (I)make intercession for them.

Hebrews 7:20-25
New International Version
20 And it was not without an oath! Others became priests without any oath, 21 but he became a priest with an oath when God said to him:
22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantor of a better covenant.(C)
23 Now there have been many of those priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office; 24 but because Jesus lives forever, he has a permanent priesthood.(D) 25 Therefore he is able to save(E) completely[b] those who come to God(F) through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.(G)
