Hebrews 7:22-28 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

22. by so much more Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

23. And indeed many have become priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office,

24. but he, because he continues forever, holds the priesthood permanently.

25. Therefore also he is able to save completely those who draw near to God through him, because he always lives in order to intercede on their behalf.

26. For a high priest such as this indeed is fitting for us, holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and having become exalted above the heavens,

27. who does not need every day like the former high priests to offer up sacrifices for his own sins and then for the sins of the people, because he did this once for all when he offered up himself.

28. For the law appoints men as high priests who have weakness, but the statement of the oath, after the law, appoints a Son, who is made perfect forever.
