Hebrews 7:17
World English Bible (WEB)
for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
In context
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 for it is testified, “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
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.
