Hebrews 7:22

A surety; one who becomes responsible for the fulfilment of a covenant.

A better testament; or, a better covenant. The same Greek word is rendered now covenant, as in chap Hebrews 8:6, etc., and now testament, as in chap Hebrews 9:15, etc. The later is the appropriate rendering where there is a reference to the death of him who mediates the covenant, as in the latter of the above passages. The covenant which was ratified by the blood of Jesus secured for ever the highest and best of blessings to all who trust in him and devote their life to his service.
