Ibrani 7:23-26

7:23 And the others ¹  who became priests were numerous, because death prevented them ²  from continuing in office, ³  7:24 but he holds his priesthood permanently since he lives forever. 7:25 So he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them. 7:26 For it is indeed fitting for us to have such a high priest: holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
