Hebrews 7:26-28
New English Translation
26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need to do every day what those priests do, to offer sacrifices first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people, since he did this in offering himself once for all. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men subject to weakness,[a] but the word of solemn affirmation that came after the law appoints a son made perfect forever.

Hebrews 7:26-28
Lexham English Bible
26 For a high priest such as this indeed is fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become exalted above the heavens, 27 who does not need every day[a] like the former high priests to offer up sacrifices for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he[b] offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the statement of the oath, after the law, appoints a Son, who is made perfect forever[c].
