Hebrews 7:11 Cross References - Wesley

¹¹ If then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law) what farther need was there that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchisedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

¹⁰ And ye are filled by him, who is the head of all principality and power. ¹¹ By whom also ye are circumcised with a circumcision not made with hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ: ¹² Buried with him in baptism, by which ye are also risen with him, through the faith of the operation of God, who raised him from the dead. ¹³ And you who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, ¹⁴ having forgiven you all trespasses, Having blotted out by his decrees the hand-writing against us, which was contrary to us; and having nailed it to his cross, he took it out of the way. ¹⁵ And having spoiled the principalities and powers, he exposed them openly, triumphing over them in him. ¹⁶ Let none therefore judge you in meat, or drink, or in respect of a feast-day, or of the new-moon, or of sabbath-days: Which are shadow of things to come; ¹⁷ but the body is of Christ.

⁶ As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedeck:

¹⁵ And it is still far more evident, because another priest is raised up, after the likeness of Melchidek, Who was made not after the law of a carnal commandment,

¹⁷ For it is testified, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedek. ¹⁸ For verily there is a disannulling of the preceding commandment, for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. ¹⁹ For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw nigh to God.

²¹ but this with an oath, by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchisedek:)

⁷ For if the first had been faultless, no place would have been sought for a second.

¹⁰ For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people. ¹¹ And they shall not teach every one his neighbour, and every one his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least to the greatest. ¹² For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. ¹³ In saying, a new covenant, he hath antiquated the first; now that which is antiquated and decayed, is ready to vanish away.

¹ For the law having a shadow of good things to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect.
