highlighted Joshua 24:25-30 NASB
aSo Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.And Joshua awrote these words in the book of the law of God; and he took a large stone and set it up there under the oak that was by the sanctuary of the Lord.Joshua said to all the people, "Behold, athis stone shall be for a witness against us, for it has heard all the words of the Lord which He spoke to us; thus it shall be for a witness against you, so that you do not deny your God."Then Joshua dismissed the people, each to his inheritance.It came about after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, died, being one hundred and ten years old.And they buried him in the territory of his inheritance in aTimnath-serah, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, on the north of Mount Gaash.

highlighted Hebrews 7:11-22 NASB
aNow if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it bthe people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise caccording to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?For when the priesthood is changed, of necessity there takes place a change of law also.For athe one concerning whom bthese things are spoken belongs to another tribe, from which no one has officiated at the altar.For it is evident that our Lord was adescended from Judah, a tribe with reference to which Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,who has become such not on the basis of a law of aphysical requirement, but according to the power of ban indestructible life.For it is attested of Him,

highlighted Hebrews 7:1-10 NASB
for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.For this aMelchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the bMost High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.Without father, without mother, awithout genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like bthe Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the apatriarch, bgave a tenth of the choicest spoils.And those indeed of athe sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.But the one awhose genealogy is not traced from them bcollected a tenth from Abraham and bblessed the one who chad the promises.But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, aof whom it is witnessed that he lives on.And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes,

highlighted Hebrews 7:25-27 NASB
Therefore He is able also to asave forever those who bdraw near to God through Him, since He always lives to cmake intercession for them.For it was fitting for us to have such a ahigh priest, bholy, cinnocent, undefiled, separated from sinners and dexalted above the heavens;who does not need daily, like those high priests, to aoffer up sacrifices, bfirst for His own sins and then for the sins of the people, because this He did conce for all when He doffered up Himself.

highlighted Romans 6:19-21 NASB
aI am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just bas you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.For awhen you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness.Therefore what abenefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is bdeath.

For asin shall not bbe master over you, for cyou are not under law but dunder grace.What then? aShall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? bMay it never be!Do you not aknow that when you present yourselves to someone as bslaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of csin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?But athanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that bform of teaching to which you were committed,and having been afreed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.Even so consider yourselves to be adead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.Therefore do not let sin areign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts,and do not go on apresenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but bpresent yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

For aif we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,knowing this, that our aold self was bcrucified with Him, in order that our cbody of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin;for ahe who has died is freed from sin.Now aif we have died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,knowing that Christ, having been araised from the dead, is never to die again; bdeath no longer is master over Him.

aWhat shall we say then? Are we to bcontinue in sin so that grace may increase?aMay it never be! How shall we who bdied to sin still live in it?Or do you not know that all of us who have been abaptized into bChrist Jesus have been baptized into His death?Therefore we have been aburied with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was braised from the dead through the cglory of the Father, so we too might walk in dnewness of life.
