Hebrews 7:20-22
New King James Version
Greatness of the New Priest
20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath 21 (for they have become priests without an oath, but He with an oath by Him who said to Him:
(A)“The Lord has sworn
And will not relent,
‘You are a priest [a]forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),
22 by so much more Jesus has become a [b]surety of a (B)better covenant.
