  • Hebrews 7:17-21

    17 This is confirmed:

    You are a priest forever,
            according to the order of Melchizedek.

    Able to save completely

    18 On the one hand, an earlier command is set aside because it was weak and useless 19 (because the Law made nothing perfect). On the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. 20 And this was not done without a solemn pledge! The others have become priests without a solemn pledge, 21 but this priest was affirmed with a solemn pledge by the one who said,

    The Lord has made a solemn pledge
            and will not change his mind:
    You are a priest forever.
