Löydetty 22085 Tulokset: Or
For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. (Hebrews 7, 14)
This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchiz'edek, (Hebrews 7, 15)
who has become a priest, not according to a legal requirement concerning bodily descent but by the power of an indestructible life. (Hebrews 7, 16)
For it is witnessed of him, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchiz'edek." (Hebrews 7, 17)
On the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness (Hebrews 7, 18)
(for the law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God. (Hebrews 7, 19)
Those who formerly became priests took their office without an oath, but this one was addressed with an oath, "The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind, `Thou art a priest for ever.'" (Hebrews 7, 21)
The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office; (Hebrews 7, 23)
but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues for ever. (Hebrews 7, 24)
Consequently he is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them. (Hebrews 7, 25)
For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens. (Hebrews 7, 26)
He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people; he did this once for all when he offered up himself. (Hebrews 7, 27)
