What is True.
In Hebrews 7:11, the scripture explicitly states:

Jesus has this kind of priesthood
"But He, because He continues forever, has an unchangeable priesthood." (Hebrews 7:24, NKJV)
The law required the Israelites to pay a tenth of their plunder or earnings to these people.

Despite this difference in emphasis (divine origin vs. human effort), these TWO specific virtues appear on both lists in the NKJV.
What are self-control and perseverance (or longsuffering/patience)?
