Hebrews 7:11-19 Truly, then, if perfection was through the Levitical priestly office (for the people had been given Law under it), why yet need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

LITV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹¹ Truly, then, if perfection was through the Levitical priestly office (for the people had been given Law under it), why yet need for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek and not to be called according to the order of Aaron? ¹² For the priestly office having been changed, of necessity a change of law also occurs. ¹³ For the One of whom these things are said has partaken of another tribe, from which no one has given devotion at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is clear that our Lord has risen out of Judah, as to which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. ¹⁵ And it is still more abundantly clear that if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek, ¹⁶ who has not become so according to a law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an indissoluble life. ¹⁷ For it is testified, "You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." Psa. 110:4 ¹⁸ For a voiding of the preceding command comes about because of its weakness and unprofitableness. ¹⁹ For the Law perfected nothing, but a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
