Hebrews 7:19
(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.
--------------------
Hebrews 7:19
(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.
--------------------
Hebrews 7:11
Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:12
Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law.
Hebrews 7:13
For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.
Hebrews 7:14
Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.
Hebrews 7:15
And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,
Hebrews 7:16
That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:
Hebrews 7:17
For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:18
So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.
Hebrews 7:19
(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.
Hebrews 7:20
And as this is not without the taking of an oath
Hebrews 7:21
(For those were made priests without an oath, but this one was made a priest with an oath by him who says of him, The Lord gave his oath, which he will not take back, that you are a priest for ever);
Hebrews 7:22
By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.
Hebrews 7:24
But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.
-----
Hebrews 8:6
But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.
Hebrews 8:7
For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.
Hebrews 8:8
For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;
Hebrews 8:9
Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.
Hebrews 8:10
For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:
Hebrews 8:11
And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.
Hebrews 8:12
And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.
Hebrews 8:13
When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.
Hebrews 13:20
Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,
-----
Hebrews 10:1
For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.
Hebrews 10:2
For if this had been possible, would there not have been an end of those offerings, because the worshippers would have been made completely clean and would have been no longer conscious of sins?
Hebrews 10:3
But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.
Hebrews 10:14
Because by one offering he has made complete for ever those who are made holy.
Hebrews 9:8
The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;
John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
Colossians 2:17
For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.
Hebrews 9:25
And he did not have to make an offering of himself again and again, as the high priest goes into the holy place every year with blood which is not his;
Hebrews 10:5
So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;
Hebrews 10:6
You had no joy in burned offerings or in offerings for sin.
Hebrews 10:18
Now where there is forgiveness of these, there is no more offering for sin.
Hebrews 13:9
Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.
-----
Hebrews 10:22
Let us go in with true hearts, in certain faith, having our hearts made free from the sense of sin and our bodies washed with clean water:
Psalms 73:28
But it is good for me to come near to God: I have put my faith in the Lord God, so that I may make clear all his works.
James 4:8
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.
Romans 5:2
Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.
Hebrews 4:15
For we have not a high priest who is not able to be touched by the feelings of our feeble flesh; but we have one who has been tested in all points as we ourselves are tested, but without sin.
Hebrews 4:16
Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.
1 Samuel 14:36
And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.
Isaiah 29:13
And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;
Ephesians 2:14
For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down,
Ephesians 2:15
Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.
2 Thessalonians 2:16
Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father who had love for us and has given us eternal comfort and good hope through grace,
-----
Hebrews 7:25
So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.
Hebrews 7:26
It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens:
Hebrews 7:27
Who has no need to make offerings for sins every day, like those high priests, first for himself, and then for the people; because he did this once and for ever when he made an offering of himself.
Hebrews 7:28
The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.
Hebrews 7:23
And it is true that there have been a great number of those priests, because death does not let them go on for ever;
Hebrews 9:23
For this cause it was necessary to make the copies of the things in heaven clean with these offerings; but the things themselves are made clean with better offerings than these.
Hebrews 10:34
For you had pity on those who were in prison, and had joy in the loss of your property, in the knowledge that you still had a better property and one which you would keep for ever.
Hebrews 12:22
But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,
Hebrews 11:16
But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.
Hebrews 11:35
Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come;
Hebrews 12:27
And the words, Still one more, make it clear that there will be a taking away of those things which are shaking, as of things which are made, so that there may be only those things of which no shaking is possible.
Hebrews 8:1
Now of the things we are saying this is the chief point: We have such a high priest, who has taken his place at the right hand of God's high seat of glory in heaven,
-----
Hebrews 9:9
And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,
Hebrews 9:10
Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.
Hebrews 9:11
But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,
Hebrews 10:4
Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.
Hebrews 9:13
For if the blood of goats and oxen, and the dust from the burning of a young cow, being put on the unclean, make the flesh clean:
Hebrews 9:14
How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?
Galatians 4:9
But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?
Colossians 2:16
For this reason let no man be your judge in any question of food or drink or feast days or new moons or Sabbaths:
Hebrews 5:14
But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.
Hebrews 10:10
By that pleasure we have been made holy, by the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once and for ever.
Hebrews 10:12
But when Jesus had made one offering for sins for ever, he took his place at the right hand of God;
Hebrews 10:13
And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.
-----
Romans 8:3
For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:
Romans 8:4
So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.
Acts 13:39
And through him everyone who has faith is made free from all those things, from which the law of Moses was not able to make you free.
Romans 3:20
Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans 6:14
For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.
Galatians 2:19
For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.
Galatians 2:20
I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.
Galatians 2:21
I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.
Galatians 3:23
But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.
Galatians 3:24
So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.
Romans 7:5
For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.
Romans 7:6
But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.
Romans 10:4
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who has faith.
Galatians 2:16
Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
Galatians 5:4
You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.
-----
Hebrews 11:40
Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.
Hebrews 1:1
In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;
Hebrews 1:2
But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;
Hebrews 1:3
Who, being the outshining of his glory, the true image of his substance, supporting all things by the word of his power, having given himself as an offering making clean from sins, took his seat at the right hand of God in heaven;
Hebrews 1:4
Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.
-----
Hebrews 10:19
So then, my brothers, being able to go into the holy place without fear, because of the blood of Jesus,
Hebrews 10:20
By the new and living way which he made open for us through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
Hebrews 10:21
And having a great priest over the house of God,
Ephesians 2:18
Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.
Hebrews 6:18
So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;
Ephesians 3:12
By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.
Romans 5:1
For which reason, because we have righteousness through faith, let us be at peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ;
Colossians 1:5
Through the hope which is in store for you in heaven; knowledge of which was given to you before in the true word of the good news,
Colossians 1:23
If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
Colossians 1:27
To whom God was pleased to give knowledge of the wealth of the glory of this secret among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
Hebrews 3:6
But Christ as a son, over his house; whose house are we, if we keep our hearts fixed in the glad and certain hope till the end.
Hebrews 11:6
And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.
-----

The Lord has made an oath, and will not take it back. You are a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:7
But there is no doubt that the less gets his blessing from the greater.
Hebrews 7:8
Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.
Hebrews 7:9
And we may say that in Abraham, even Levi, who has a right to take the tenth part, gave it;
Hebrews 7:10
Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.
Hebrews 5:6
As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:1
For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,
Hebrews 7:3
Being without father or mother, or family, having no birth or end to his life, being made like the Son of God, is a priest for ever.
Genesis 14:18
And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
Hebrews 3:1
For this reason, holy brothers, marked out to have a part in heaven, give thought to Jesus the representative and high priest of our faith;
Hebrews 5:10
Being named by God a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 6:20
Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
-----
Galatians 3:21
Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.
Romans 7:7
What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.
Galatians 3:18
Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.
-----
Hebrews 10:11
And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.
Galatians 4:3
So we, when we were young, were kept under the first rules of the world;
Hebrews 10:7
Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).
Hebrews 10:8
After saying, You had no desire for offerings, for burned offerings or offerings for sin (which are made by the law) and you had no pleasure in them,
Hebrews 10:9
Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure. He took away the old order, so that he might put the new order in its place.
Hebrews 10:15
And the Holy Spirit is a witness for us: for after he had said,
Hebrews 10:16
This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,
Hebrews 10:17
And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.
-----
Hebrews 6:11
And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:
Hebrews 6:19
And this hope is like a strong band for our souls, fixed and certain, and going in to that which is inside the veil;
Galatians 5:5
For we through the Spirit by faith are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
Hebrews 10:23
Let us keep the witness of our hope strong and unshaking, for he is true who has given his word:
1 John 3:3
And everyone who has this hope in him makes himself holy, even as he is holy.

Leviticus 16:28
And the man by whom they are burned is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water, and then he may come back to the tent-circle.

And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,
