Paul explains: “He does not need daily, as those high priests do, to offer up sacrifices, first for his own sins and then for those of the people: (for this he did once for all time when he offered himself up;) for the Law appoints men high priests having weakness, but the word of the sworn oath that came after the Law appoints a Son, who is perfected forever. ” ​ — Heb. 7: 27, 28.
Paulus selgitab: „Tema ei ole sunnitud teiste ülempreestrite kombel päevast päeva tooma esmalt ohvreid omaenda pattude eest ja alles seejärel rahva pattude eest, sest seda ta on teinud ühe korra ja alatiseks, kui ta ohverdas iseenda. Sest Moosese Seadus seab ülempreestreiks inimesed, kes on nõrgad, aga vande sõna, mis on Seadusest hilisem, seab selleks Poja, kes on saanud täiuslikuks igavesti ”.
