Hebrews 7:26-28
English Standard Version
26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, (A)holy, innocent, unstained, (B)separated from sinners, and (C)exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, (D)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this (E)once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men (F)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 (G)perfect forever.

Hebrews 7:26-28
New Living Translation
26 He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven.[a] 27 Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when he offered himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins. 28 The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed his Son with an oath, and his Son has been made the perfect High Priest forever.

Hebrews 7:26-28
New International Version
26 Such a high priest(A) truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners,(B) exalted above the heavens.(C) 27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices(D) day after day, first for his own sins,(E) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all(F) when he offered himself.(G) 28 For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness;(H) but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son,(I) who has been made perfect(J) forever.
