Hebrews 7:22-25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²² This makes Jesus the surety of a better covenant.

²³ The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office; ²⁴ but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues for ever. ²⁵ Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
