Hebrews 7:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
In context
14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah, a tribe as to which Moses said nothing about priests.
15 And this point is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears,
16 one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.
17 For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
18 So the former commandment is set aside because it was weak and useless
