Hebrews 7:17 Context
15And it is yet farre more euident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another Priest, 16Who is made not after the Law of a carnall commandement, but after the power of an endles life. 17For hee testifieth; Thou art a Priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedec. 18For there is verily a disanulling of the commandement going before, for the weakenesse and vnprofitablenesse thereof. 19For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did: by the which wee draw nigh vnto God.
