Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Carnal (sarkinhv). "Fleshen" as in I Corinthians 3:1, not sarkikhv (fleshlike, I Corinthians 3:3). The Levitical priests became so merely by birth.
Of an endless life (zwhv akatalutou). Late compound (alpha privative and verbal adjective from kataluw, to dissolve, as in II Corinthians 4:1), indissoluble. Jesus as priest lives on forever. He is Life.
