"Certainly, there is a setting aside of the former commandment, because of its weakness and lack of usefulness. "
— Hebrews 7:18, Catholic Public Domain Version
“For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.”
“For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness ”
“For there is an annulling of a foregoing commandment because of its weakness and uselessness”
“On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless,”
“There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:”
“So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit.”
“For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.”
And yet it is far more evident that, according to the likeness of Melchizedek, there rises up another priest,
who was made, not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the virtue of an indissoluble life.
For he testifies: “You are a priest forever, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
Certainly, there is a setting aside of the former commandment, because of its weakness and lack of usefulness.
For the law led no one to perfection, yet truly it introduced a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
Moreover, it is not without an oath. For certainly, the others were made priests without an oath.
But this man was made a priest with an oath, by the One who said to him: “The Lord has sworn and he will not repent. You are a priest forever.”
