19(For the law brought nothing to perfection,) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.


In Context

16 Who is made not according to the law of a carnal commandment, but according to the power of an indissoluble life:

17 For he testifieth: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech.

18 There is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment, because of the weakness and unprofitableness thereof:

19 (For the law brought nothing to perfection,) but a bringing in of a better hope, by which we draw nigh to God.

20 And inasmuch as it is not without an oath, (for the others indeed were made priests without an oath;

21 But this with an oath, by him that said unto him: The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever.)
