Hebrews 7:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 By so much is Jesus made a surety of a better Testament.
23 [a]And among them many were made Priests, because they were not suffered to endure, by the reason of death.
24 But this man, because he endureth ever, hath a Priesthood, which [b]cannot pass from one to another.

- Hebrews 7:24 Which cannot pass away.
