Another Priest, Like Melchizedek
11 Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood—for the people received the law under this priesthood—what further need would there have been to speak of another priest arising according to the order of Melchizedek rather than one according to the order of Aaron?(A)

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?

18 There is, on the one hand, the abrogation of an earlier commandment because it was weak and ineffectual(B) 19 (for the law made nothing perfect); there is, on the other hand, the introduction of a better hope through which we approach God.(C)

10 This is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says the Lord:
I will put my laws in their minds
and write them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.(A)
11 And they shall not teach one another
or say to each other,[a] ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall all know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.(B)
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
and I will remember their sins[b] no more.”(C)
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he has made the first one obsolete, and what is obsolete and growing old will soon disappear.(D)

10 and you have come to fullness in him, who is the head of every ruler and authority.(A) 11 In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision,[a] by the removal of the body[b] of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ;(B) 12 when you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.(C) 13 And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God[c] made you[d] alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses,(D) 14 erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed[e] the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it.(E)
16 Therefore, do not let anyone condemn you in matters of food or[f] drink or of observing festivals, new moons, or Sabbaths.(F) 17 These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the body belongs to 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.
