Hebrews 7:15-19 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

15. It is even more obvious if another priest is raised up after the likeness of Melchizedek,

16. who has become so, not by a law expressed in a commandment concerning physical descent but by the power of a life that cannot be destroyed.

17. For it is testified:“You are a priest foreveraccording to the order of Melchizedek.”

18. On the one hand, a former commandment is annulled because of its weakness and uselessness,

19. for the law brought nothing to perfection; on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
