Hebrews 7:25-27

Jesus Compared to Melchizedek

25 Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost 1 k those who draw near to God l through him, since he always lives m to make intercession for them.

26 For it was indeed fitting that we should have such a high priest, n holy, innocent, unstained, o separated from sinners, and p exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, q first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he did this r once for all when he offered up himself.
