Hebrews 7:16-19 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

16. who did not become a priest based on a legal command concerning physical descent but based on the power of an indestructible life.

17. For it has been testified:You are a priest foreverin the order of Melchizedek.

18. So the previous command is annulled because it was weak and unprofitable

19. (for the law perfected nothing), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
