007:025 Hence too He is able to save to the uttermost those who come
to God through Him, seeing that He ever lives to plead for them.
007:026 Moreover we needed just such a High Priest as this— holy, guileless, undefiled, far removed from sinful men and exalted above the heavens;
007:027 who, unlike other High Priests, is not under the necessity
of offering up sacrifices day after day, first for His own sins,
and afterwards for those of the people; for this latter thing
He did once for all when He offered up Himself.
007:028 For the Law constitutes men High Priests—men with all
their infirmity—but the utterance of the oath, which came
later than the Law, constitutes High Priest a Son who has
been made for ever perfect.
008:001 Now in connexion with what we have been saying the chief point is that we have a High Priest who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God's Majesty in the heavens,
008:002 and ministers in the Holy place and in the true tabernacle which not man, but the Lord pitched.
008:003 Every High Priest, however, is appointed to offer both bloodless
gifts and sacrifices. Therefore this High Priest also must
have some offering to present.
008:004 If then He were still on earth, He would not be a priest at all,
since here there are already those who present the offerings
in obedience to the Law,
008:005 and serve a copy and type of the heavenly things, just as Moses
was divinely instructed when about to build the tabernacle.
For God said, "See that you make everything in imitation
of the pattern shown you on the mountain."
008:006 But, as a matter of fact, the ministry which Christ has
obtained is all the nobler a ministry, in that He is at
the same time the negotiator of a sublimer covenant,
based upon sublimer promises.
