For the law having a shadow of the good {\i things} to come, not the very image of the things, can never with the same sacrifices year by year, which they offer continually, make perfect them that draw nigh.
For the law appointeth men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, {\i appointeth} a Son, perfected for evermore.\par
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually.\par

how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
