Hebrews 7:26-28
Wycliffe Bible
26 For it beseemed that such a man were a bishop to us, holy, innocent, undefouled, clean, separated from sinful men, and made higher than heavens;[a]
27 which hath not need each day, as priests, first for his own guilts to offer sacrifices, and afterward for the people; for he did this thing in offering himself once [soothly he did this thing, once offering himself].
28 And the law ordained men priests having frailty [having sickness, or frailty]; but the word of swearing, which is after the law, ordained the Son perfect without end [ordained the Son perfect into without end].

Hebrews 7:26-28
New Matthew Bible
26 Such a high priest it behoved us to have, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than heaven; 27 who does not need (like those high priests) daily to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins and then for the people’s sins. For Jesus did that once and for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law makes priests of men who have infirmity, but the word of the oath that came since the law makes the Son priest, who is perfect forevermore.

Hebrews 7:26-28
1599 Geneva Bible
26 [a]For such an high Priest it became us to have, which is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens:
27 Which needeth not daily as those high Priests to offer up sacrifice, (A)first for his own sins, and then for the peoples: [b]for [c]that did he [d]once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the Law maketh men high Priests, which have infirmity: but the [e]word of the oath [f]that [g]was since the Law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

- Hebrews 7:26 Another argument: There are required in an high Priest innocency, and perfect pureness, which may separate him from sinners, for whom he offereth. But the Levitical high Priests shall not be found to be such, for they offer first for their own sins: But Christ only is such a one; and therefore the true and only high Priest.
- Hebrews 7:27 Another argument which notwithstanding he handleth afterward: The Levitical Priests offered sacrifice after sacrifice, first for themselves, and then for the people. But Christ offered not for himself, but for others, not sacrifices, but himself, not oftentimes, but once. And this ought not to seem strange; saith he, forsomuch as they are weak, but this man is consecrated an everlasting Priest, and that by an oath.
- Hebrews 7:27 That sacrifice which he offered.
- Hebrews 7:27 It was so done, that it needeth not be repeated or offered again anymore.
- Hebrews 7:28 The commandment of God which was bound with an oath.
- Hebrews 7:28 Another argument taken of the time: former things are taken away by the latter.
- Hebrews 7:28 Exhibited.

Authorized (King James) Version
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. 28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
