16   Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
ος ου κατα νομον εντολης σαρκικης γεγονεν αλλα κατα δυναμιν ζωης ακαταλυτου

17   For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
μαρτυρει γαρ οτι συ ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ

18   For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
αθετησις μεν γαρ γινεται προαγουσης εντολης δια το αυτης ασθενες και ανωφελες

19   For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
ουδεν γαρ ετελειωσεν ο νομος επεισαγωγη δε κρειττονος ελπιδος δι ης εγγιζομεν τω θεω

20   And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
και καθ οσον ου χωρις ορκωμοσιας οι μεν γαρ χωρις ορκωμοσιας εισιν ιερεις γεγονοτες

21   (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)
ο δε μετα ορκωμοσιας δια του λεγοντος προς αυτον ωμοσεν κυριος και ου μεταμεληθησεται συ ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ

22   By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.
κατα τοσουτον κρειττονος διαθηκης γεγονεν εγγυος ιησους

23   And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:
και οι μεν πλειονες εισιν γεγονοτες ιερεις δια το θανατω κωλυεσθαι παραμενειν

24   But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
ο δε δια το μενειν αυτον εις τον αιωνα απαραβατον εχει την ιερωσυνην
