18 El mandamiento precedente, cierto se abroga por su flaqueza é inutilidad;

19 Porque nada perfeccionó la ley; mas [hízolo] la introducción de mejor esperanza, por la cual nos acercamos á Dios.

20 Y por cuanto no [fué] sin juramento,

21 (Porque los otros cierto sin juramento fueron hechos sacerdotes; mas éste, con juramento por el que le dijo: Juró el Señor, y no se arrepentirá: Tú eres sacerdote eternamente según el orden de Melchîsedec:)

22 Tanto de mejor testamento es hecho fiador Jesús.
