Hebrews 7:12-19
New King James Version
12 For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. 13 For He of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no man has [a]officiated at the altar.
14 For it is evident that (A)our Lord arose from (B)Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning [b]priesthood. 15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest 16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life. 17 For [c]He testifies:
(C)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”
18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of (D)its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for (E)the law made nothing [d]perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of (F)a better hope, through which (G)we draw near to God.
