"accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant."
— Hebrews 7:22, NET Bible
“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.”
“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. 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’”–
accordingly Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
And the others who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them from continuing in office,
but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever.
So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
