Hebrews 7:17
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For it is testified: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
In context
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
19 (for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
