--Hebrews-- If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need [was there] that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron? (7:11) Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. (7:16) By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. (7:22) Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; (8:1) A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. (8:2) But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises. (8:6) |
