who did not become a priest based on a legal regulation about physical descent but based on the power of an indestructible life.

(for the law perfected nothing), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

but he became a priest with an oath made by the one who said to him:

But because he remains forever, he holds his priesthood permanently.

For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak, but the promise of the oath, which came after the law, appoints a Son, who has been perfected forever.

But Jesus has now obtained a superior ministry, and to that degree he is the mediator of a better covenant, which has been established on better promises.

But finding fault with his people, he says:

But the high priest alone enters the second room, and he does that only once a year, and never without blood, which he offers for himself and for the sins the people had committed in ignorance.

But Christ has appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come. In the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands (that is, not of this creation),

he entered the most holy place once for all time, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.

Therefore, it was necessary for the copies of the things in the heavens to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves to be purified with better sacrifices than these.

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands (only a model of the true one) but into heaven itself, so that he might now appear in the presence of God for us.

Otherwise, he would have had to suffer many times since the foundation of the world. But now he has appeared one time, at the end of the ages, for the removal of sin by the sacrifice of himself.

so also Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

But in the sacrifices there is a reminder of sins year after year.

But this man, after offering one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God.

not neglecting to gather together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day approaching.

but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries.

But my righteous one will live by faith;and if he draws back,I have no pleasure in him.

But we are not those who draw back and are destroyed, but those who have faith and are saved.
