Hebrews 7:20

7:20 And since ¹  this was not done without a sworn affirmation – for the others have become priests without a sworn affirmation,

Hebrews 11:40

11:40 For God had provided something better for us, so that they would be made perfect together with us. ² 

[7:20]  ¹ sn The Greek text contains an elaborate comparison between v. 20a and v. 22, with a parenthesis (vv. 20b-21) in between; the comparison is literally, “by as much as…by so much” or “to the degree that…to that same degree.”

[11:40]  ² tn The Greek phrasing emphasizes this point by negating the opposite: “so that they would not be made perfect without us.”
