Hebrews 7:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 [a]Which is not made Priest after the [b]Law of the carnal commandment, but after the power of the endless life.
17 For he testifieth thus, (A)Thou art a Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.
18 [c]For the [d]commandment that went afore, is disannulled, because of the weakness thereof, and unprofitableness.

- Hebrews 7:16 He proveth the diversity and excellency of the institution of Melchizedek’s Priesthood, by this, that the priesthood of the Law did stand upon an outward and bodily anointing: but the sacrifice of Melchizedek is set out to be everlasting and more spiritual.
- Hebrews 7:16 Not after the ordination, which commandeth frail and transitory things, as was done in Aaron’s consecration, and all that whole Priesthood.
- Hebrews 7:18 Again, that no man might object that the last Priesthood was added to make a perfect one, by the coupling of them both together, he proveth that the first was abrogated by the latter as unprofitable, and that by the nature of them both. For how could those corporal and transitory things sanctify us, either of themselves, or being joined with another?
- Hebrews 7:18 The ceremonial law.
