Hebrews 7:18 - Forerunner Commentary

Hebrews 7:18

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.

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 priest¹ forever
According to the order of Melchizedek’ ”),

22 by so much more Jesus has become a¹ surety of a ^abetter covenant.
