Hebrews 7:19 in Context — Hebrews 7

17 Pois [assim] ele dá testemunho: Tu és Sacerdote para sempre, segundo a ordem de Melquisedeque.

18 Porque há uma revogação do mandamento anterior, por causa da sua fraqueza e inutilidade,

19 pois a Lei não tornou perfeito nada. Porém, uma esperança melhor é introduzida, e por meio dela nos aproximamos de Deus.

20 E isso não foi [feito] sem juramento (pois os outros se tornaram sacerdotes sem juramento,

21 mas ele [foi estabelecido] com um juramento daquele que lhe disse: O Senhor jurou, e não se arrependerá: Tu és Sacerdote para sempre, segundo a ordem de Melquisedeque).
