NET Bible
"On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless,"
— Hebrews 7:18, NET Bible
“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”
“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 this is even clearer if another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek,
who has become a priest not by a legal regulation about physical descent but by the power of an indestructible life.
For here is the testimony about him:“You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”
On the one hand a former command is set aside because it is weak and useless,
for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
And since this was not done without a sworn affirmation– for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation,
but Jesus did so with a sworn affirmation by the one who said to him,“The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind,‘You are a priest forever’”–
