¹² For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.

¹⁸ For, on the one hand, there is the nullification of a former commandment ^(A)because of its weakness and uselessness ¹⁹ (for ^(B)the Law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, there is the introduction of a better ^(C)hope, through which we ^(D)come near to God.

²⁸ For the Law appoints men as high priests ^(A)who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints ^(B)a Son, who has been ^(C)made perfect forever.

⁶ But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, to the extent that He is also the ^(A)mediator of ^(B)a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.
