(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

(for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

For the law never made anything perfect. But now we have confidence in a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

(for the law perfected  nothing), but a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

for the law made nothing perfect; on the other hand, there is the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

But the Melchizedek story provides a perfect analogy: Jesus, a priest like Melchizedek, not by genealogical descent but by the sheer force of resurrection life—he lives!—“priest forever in the royal order of Melchizedek.” The former way of doing things, a system of commandments that never worked out the way it was supposed to, was set aside; the law brought nothing to maturity. Another way—Jesus!—a way that does work, that brings us right into the presence of God, is put in its place.

(for the Law made nothing perfect); on the other hand, there is the introduction of a better hope, through which we come near to God.

(for the Law never made anything perfect); while on the other hand a better hope is introduced through which we now continually draw near to God.

for the law made nothing perfect. On the other hand a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.
