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?

¹⁸ For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of ^(A)its weakness and unprofitableness, ¹⁹ for ^(B)the law made nothing ^[a]perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of ^(C)a better hope, through which ^(D)we draw near to God.
