In context
16 Who is made, not according to the law of a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.
17 For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
18 There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:
19 For the law brought nothing to perfection: but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.
20 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath:
21 But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn and he will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever).
22 By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
