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 witnessed of that he liveth;
 9and, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi that receiveth tithes hath been tithed.
 10For he was yet in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
 11If therefore perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, for [based] on it the people had the law, what further need that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be said according to the order of Aaron?
 12For the priesthood being changed there cometh of necessity a change of law also.
 13For he of whom these things are said hath part in a different tribe from which no one hath attended to the altar;
 14for [it is] evident beforehand that our Lord hath sprung out of Judah, as to which tribe Moses spoke nothing about priests.
 15And it is yet more abundantly evident if according to the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth a different priest
 16who hath been made not according to law of fleshly commandment but according to power of indissoluble life.
 17For the witness is, Thou [art] priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
 18For there cometh a setting aside of foregoing commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness
 19(for the law perfected nothing), and an introduction of a better hope through which we draw near to God.
 20And by how much not apart from oath-swearing
 21(for they indeed apart from oath-swearing are become priests, but he with oath-swearing by him that saith unto him, The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou [art] priest forever [according to the order of Melchizedek]
 22by so much Jesus hath become surety of a better covenant.
 23And they indeed are become many more priests, because by death they are hindered from continuing;
 24but he because of his abiding forever hath the priesthood untransferable.
 25Whence also he is able to save completely those that approach God through him, as ever living to intercede for them.
 28For the law constituteth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath-swearing that [was] after the law, a Son perfected forever. (Heb. 7:8‑25,28)

an unchangeable priesthood.
or, a priesthood which passethnot from one to another.
• 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)

It is aparabaton which the Greek fathers interpret it as "unsuccessional," which makes excellent sense. But usage points rather to "unchangeable" or intransmissible, untransferable.
