Hebrews 7:18-19 GNB The old rule, then, is set aside, because it was weak and useless. (19) For the Law of Moses could not make anything perfect. And now a better hope has been provided through which we come near to God.

Hebrews 7:18-19 ESV For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside because of its weakness and uselessness (19) (for the law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, a better hope is introduced, through which we draw near to God.

Hebrews 7:18-19 GW The former requirements are rejected because they are weak and useless. (19) Moses' Teachings couldn't accomplish everything that God required. But we have something else that gives us greater confidence and allows us to approach God.

Hebrews 7:18-19 BBE So the law which went before is put on one side, because it was feeble and without profit. (19) Because the law made nothing complete, and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

Hebrews 7:18-19 CEV In this way a weak and useless command was put aside, (19) because the Law cannot make anything perfect. At the same time, we are given a much better hope, and it can bring us close to God.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
