Hebrews 7:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 7:17

15 And it is yet far more evident if, in the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another priest

16 who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

17 For¹ He testifies:
^a“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.”

18 For on the one hand there is an annulling of the former commandment because of ^aits weakness and unprofitableness,

19 for ^athe law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of ^ba better hope, through which ^cwe draw near to God.

20 And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an oath
