NASB
"so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant."
— Hebrews 7:22, NASB
“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 made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.
And inasmuch as it was not without an oath
(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, "THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER'");
so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,
but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently.
Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.
