welcher nicht nach dem Gesetz des fleischlichen Gebots gemacht ist, sondern nach der Kraft des unendlichen Lebens.
El cual no es hecho conforme a la ley del mandamiento carnal, sino según la virtud de vida indisoluble;
que ha llegado a serlo, no según un mandamiento legal basado en la descendencia física, sino conforme al poder de una vida indestructible.
institué, non d'après la loi d'une ordonnance charnelle, mais selon la puissance d'une vie impérissable;
Il quale, non secondo una legge di comandamento carnale, è stato fatto sacerdote; ma secondo una virtù di vita indissolubile.
Que não foi feito segundo a lei do mandamento carnal, mas segundo a virtude da vida incorruptível.
他成為祭司,並不是照屬肉身的條例,而是照無窮 生命的大能。
