"By so much, Jesus has been made the sponsor of a better testament. "
— Hebrews 7:22, Catholic Public Domain Version
“By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.”
“by so much also hath Jesus become the surety of a better covenant. ”
“By so much, Jesus has become the collateral of a better covenant.”
“accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.”
“By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better testament.”
“By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.”
“By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.”
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.”
By so much, Jesus has been made the sponsor of a better testament.
And certainly, so many of the others became priests because, due to death, they were prohibited from continuing.
But this man, because he continues forever, has an everlasting priesthood.
And for this reason, he is able, continuously, to save those who approach God through him, since he is ever alive to make intercession on our behalf.
