New Testament

Hebrews 7:25-28 God's Word Translation (GW)

25. That is why he is always able to save those who come to God through him. He can do this because he always lives and intercedes for them.

26. We need a chief priest who is holy, innocent, pure, set apart from sinners, and who has the highest position in heaven.

27. We need a priest who doesn’t have to bring daily sacrifices as those chief priests did. First they brought sacrifices for their own sins, and then they brought sacrifices for the sins of the people. Jesus brought the sacrifice for the sins of the people once and for all when he sacrificed himself.

28. Moses’ Teachings designated mortals as chief priests even though they had weaknesses. But God’s promise, which came after Moses’ Teachings, designated the Son who forever accomplished everything that God required.
