Bible verse
(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.
Hebrews 7:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Hebrews 7.
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.
20 And none of this happened without an oath. For others became priests without an oath,
21 but Jesus became a priest with an oath by the One who said to Him: “The Lord has sworn and will not change His mind: ‘You are a priest forever.’”
22 Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
23 Now there have been many other priests, since death prevented them from continuing in office.
