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.

22 Jésus est par cela même le garant d’une alliance plus excellente.
