Hebrews 7:22-28

English Standard Version

²² This makes Jesus the guarantor of ^(A)a better covenant.

²³ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office, ²⁴ but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues ^(B)forever. ²⁵ Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost^{[a] (C)}those who draw near to God ^(D)through him, since he always lives ^(E)to make intercession for them.

²⁶ For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, ^(F)holy, innocent, unstained, ^(G)separated from sinners, and ^(H)exalted above the heavens. ²⁷ He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, ^(I)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this ^(J)once for all when he offered up himself. ²⁸ For the law appoints men ^(K)in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made ^(L)perfect forever.
