New King James Version
Need for a New Priesthood(A)
11 (B)Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

Jesus Like Melchizedek
11 If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood—and indeed the law given to the people(A) established that priesthood—why was there still need for another priest to come,(B) one in the order of Melchizedek,(C) not in the order of Aaron?

17 For [a]He testifies:
(A)“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 (B)its weakness and unprofitableness, 19 for (C)the law made nothing [b]perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of (D)a better hope, through which (E)we draw near to God.

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the (A)Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and (B)I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 (C)None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the (D)Lord,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, (E)and their sins [a]and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
13 (F)In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

10 This is the covenant(A) I will establish with the people of Israel
after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts.(B)
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.(C)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,(D)
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will forgive their wickedness
and will remember their sins no more.(E)”[a](F)
13 By calling this covenant “new,”(G) he has made the first one obsolete;(H) and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

10 and you are complete in Him, who is the (A)head of all [a]principality and power.
Not Legalism but Christ
11 In Him you were also (B)circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by (C)putting off the body [b]of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 (D)buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through (E)faith in the working of God, (F)who raised Him from the dead. 13 And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, 14 (G)having wiped out the [c]handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. 15 (H)Having disarmed (I)principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
16 So let no one (J)judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a [d]festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 (K)which are a shadow of things to come, but the [e]substance is of Christ.

10 and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head(A) over every power and authority.(B) 11 In him you were also circumcised(C) with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh[a](D) was put off when you were circumcised by[b] Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism,(E) in which you were also raised with him(F) through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead.(G)
13 When you were dead in your sins(H) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you[c] alive(I) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,(J) 14 having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,(K) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.(L) 15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities,(M) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them(N) by the cross.[d]
Freedom From Human Rules
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you(O) by what you eat or drink,(P) or with regard to a religious festival,(Q) a New Moon celebration(R) or a Sabbath day.(S) 17 These are a shadow of the things that were to come;(T) the reality, however, is found in Christ.
