| Hebrews 7:11 | If indeed then perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, for the people had their law given to them in connexion with *it*, what need [was there] still that a different priest should arise according to the order of Melchisedec, and not be named after the order of Aaron? | Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron? | Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it have the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron? |
| Hebrews 7:12 | For, the priesthood being changed, there takes place of necessity a change of law also. | Because if the priests are changed, it is necessary to make a change in the law. | For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change made also of the law. |

| Hebrews 7:26 | For such a high priest became us, holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and become higher than the heavens: | It was right for us to have such a high priest, one who is holy and without evil, doing no wrong, having no part with sinners, and made higher than the heavens: | For such a high priest was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; |
