Hebrews 7:19 in Context — Hebrews 7

17 car ce témoignage lui est rendu: Tu es sacrificateur pour toujours Selon l’ordre de Melchisédek.

18 Il y a ainsi abolition d’une ordonnance antérieure, à cause de son impuissance et de son inutilité,

19 car la loi n’a rien amené à la perfection, et introduction d’une meilleure espérance, par laquelle nous nous approchons de Dieu.

20 Et, comme cela n’a pas eu lieu sans serment,

21 car, tandis que les Lévites sont devenus sacrificateurs sans serment, Jésus l’est devenu avec serment par celui qui lui a dit: Le Seigneur a juré, et il ne se repentira pas: Tu es sacrificateur pour toujours, Selon l’ordre de Melchisédek.
