Hebrews 7:26-28
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
26 [Here is] the High Priest [perfectly adapted] to our needs, as was fitting—holy, blameless, unstained by sin, separated from sinners, and exalted higher than the heavens.
27 He has no day by day necessity, as [do each of these other] high priests, to offer sacrifice first of all for his own [personal] sins and then for those of the people, because He [met all the requirements] once for all when He brought Himself [as a sacrifice] which He offered up.
28 For the Law sets up men in their weakness [frail, sinful, dying human beings] as high priests, but the word of [God’s] oath, which [was spoken later] after the institution of the Law, [chooses and appoints as priest One Whose appointment is complete and permanent], a Son Who has been made perfect forever.(A)

Hebrews 7:26-28
New King James Version
26 For such a High Priest was fitting for us, (A)who is holy, [a]harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, (B)and has become higher than the heavens; 27 who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His (C)own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. 28 For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but the word of the oath, which came after the law, appoints the Son who has been perfected forever.

Hebrews 7:26-28
English Standard Version
26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, (A)holy, innocent, unstained, (B)separated from sinners, and (C)exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, (D)first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this (E)once for all when he offered up himself. 28 For the law appoints men (F)in their weakness as high priests, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made (G)perfect forever.

Hebrews 7:26-28
King James Version
26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.
28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
