5. In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,‘You are my Son;today I have become your Father.’
6. And he says in another place,‘You are a priest for ever,in the order of Melchizedek.’

9. and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
