Hebrews 7:17-22

English Standard Version

¹⁷ For it is witnessed of him,

¹⁸ For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside ^(B)because of its weakness and uselessness ¹⁹ (for ^(C)the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, ^(D)a better hope is introduced, through which ^(E)we draw near to God.

²⁰ And it was not without an oath. For those who formerly became priests were made such without an oath, ²¹ but this one was made a priest with an oath by the one who said to him:

²² This makes Jesus the guarantor of ^(G)a better covenant.
