21. and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, `The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest--to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')

24. and he, because of his remaining--to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,
25. whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God- -ever living to make intercession for them.
