But.[Ho de ,] But he, that is, Christ, because "he continueth ever," hath [aparabatos hierosune ,] "a priesthood that passeth not away from him."he continueth.
Heb. 7:8‑25,28• 8And here dying men receive tithes; but there one of whom the witness is that he lives;
 9and, so to speak, through Abraham, Levi also, who received tithes, has been made to pay tithes.
 10For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
 11If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with *it*, what need was there still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron?
 12For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also.
 13For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has ever been attached to the service of the altar.
 14For it is clear that our Lord has sprung out of Juda, as to which tribe Moses spake nothing as to priests.
 15And it is yet more abundantly evident, since a different priest arises according to the similitude of Melchisedec,
 16who has been constituted not according to law of fleshly commandment, but according to power of indissoluble life.
 17For it is borne witness, *Thou* art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.
 18For there is a setting aside of the commandment going before for its weakness and unprofitableness,
 19(for the law perfected nothing,) and the introduction of a better hope by which we draw nigh to God.
 20And by how much it was not without the swearing of an oath;
 21(for they are become priests without the swearing of an oath, but he with the swearing of an oath, by him who said, as to him, The Lord has sworn, and will not repent of it, *Thou* art priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec;)
 22by so much Jesus became surety of a better covenant.
 23And they have been many priests, on account of being hindered from continuing by death;
 24but he, because of his continuing for ever, has the priesthood unchangeable.
 25Whence also he is able to save completely those who approach by him to God, always living to intercede for them.
 28For the law constitutes men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the swearing of the oath which is after the law, a Son perfected for ever. (Heb. 7:8‑25,28)

 7Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with judgment and with righteousness, from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of Jehovah of hosts will perform this. (Isa. 9:6‑7)

• Nor can any demonstration be conceived so convincing and irrefutable. For death tells the tale of man's-weakness and sin; and the more as he was constituted to live, with suitable provision for it, had he obeyed God. Nevertheless Jesus did taste of death, but in no way by sin, yet for it as a sacrifice. (“Hebrews 7:23-25” by W. Kelly)
