Hebrews 7:12-19
English Standard Version
12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well. 13 For the one of whom these things are spoken belonged to another tribe, from which no one has ever served at the altar. 14 For it is evident that our Lord was descended (A)from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.
15 This becomes even more evident when another priest arises in the likeness of Melchizedek, 16 who has become a priest, not on the basis of a legal requirement concerning bodily descent, but by the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is witnessed of him,
(B)“You are a priest forever,
after the order of Melchizedek.”
18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside (C)because of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for (D)the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, (E)a better hope is introduced, through which (F)we draw near to God.

Hebrews 7:12-19
New International Version
12 For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed also. 13 He of whom these things are said belonged to a different tribe,(A) and no one from that tribe has ever served at the altar.(B) 14 For it is clear that our Lord descended from Judah,(C) and in regard to that tribe Moses said nothing about priests. 15 And what we have said is even more clear if another priest like Melchizedek appears, 16 one who has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on the basis of the power of an indestructible life. 17 For it is declared:
18 The former regulation is set aside because it was weak and useless(E) 19 (for the law made nothing perfect),(F) and a better hope(G) is introduced, by which we draw near to God.(H)
