“But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.”
“But this, for that he continueth for ever, hath an everlasting priesthood:”
“But this priest, because his life goes on for ever, is unchanging.”
“But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.”
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.

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.
