Hebrews 7:11

Jesus and the Priesthood of Melchizedek

7:11 So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood – for on that basis the people received the law – what further need would there have been for another priest to arise, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in Aaron’s order?

Hebrews 7:18

7:18 On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless,

tn Grk “based on it.”

tn Grk “the setting aside of a former command comes to pass.”

tn Grk “because of its weakness and uselessness.”
