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 7:23
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 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 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 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 2:17
Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.
Hebrews 4:14
Having then a great high priest, who has made his way through the heavens, even Jesus the Son of God, let us be strong in our faith.
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 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 9:27
And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;
-----
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 8:7
For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.
Hebrews 5:6
As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.
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 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 7:1
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 13:8
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.
-----
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.
-----
Isaiah 9:6
For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.
-----
Isaiah 9:7
Of the increase of his rule and of peace there will be no end, on the seat of David, and in his kingdom; to make it strong, supporting it with wise decision and righteousness, now and for ever. By the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.
-----
Zechariah 1:5
Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they go on living for ever?
Acts 13:36
Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:
2 Peter 1:14
For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
-----
1 Corinthians 16:6
But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.
-----
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 10:4
Because it is not possible for the blood of oxen and goats to take away sins.
