by the same extent Jesus also has become the ^(F1)(C1)guarantee of ^(C2)a better covenant.

^(F1)The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing;

^(F1)Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues ^(C1)forever, holds His priesthood permanently.

Therefore He is also able to ^(C1)save ^(F1)forever those who ^(C2)come to God through Him, since He always lives to ^(C3)make intercession for them.

For it was fitting for us to have such a ^(C1)high priest, ^(C2)holy, ^(C3)innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners, and ^(C4)exalted above the heavens;

who has no daily need, like those high priests, to ^(C1)offer up sacrifices, ^(C2)first for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because He did this ^(C3)once for all time when He ^(C4)offered up Himself.

For the Law appoints men as high priests ^(C1)who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints ^(C2)a Son, who has been ^(C3)made perfect forever.
