Hebrews 7:20
And as this is not without the taking of an oath
--------------------
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 7:23
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 7:24
But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.
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 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 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 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 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,
-----
Psalms 110:4
The Lord has made an oath, and will not take it back. You are a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.
Hebrews 7:8
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 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 7:1
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 7:2
And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;
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.
Hebrews 5:6
As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
Genesis 14:18
And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,
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.
-----
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 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 8:8
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 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 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;
