Hebrews 7:17 in context
Hebrews 7:14–20
14
For it is evident that our Lord has sprung out of Judah, about which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.
15
This is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,
16
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
17
Selected verse
18
For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
19
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
20
Inasmuch as he was not made priest without the taking of an oath
