NASB
"who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life."
— Hebrews 7:16, NASB
“Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.”
“who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life: ”
“who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:”
“who has become a priest not by a legal regulation about physical descent but by the power of an indestructible life.”
“Who is made, not according to the law of a law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.”
“That is to say, not made by a law based on the flesh, but by the power of a life without end:”
“Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.”
For the one concerning whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.
For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,
who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.
For it is attested of Him, "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."
For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness
(for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
