11 If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
In Context It is talking about the ceremonial law. the priesthood was change from man to Jesus. the ceremonial law was canceled (fulfilled) by the death and resurrection of Jesus
Jesus fulfilled the Law in the same sense that Romans 15:18-19 says that Paul fulfilled the Gospel, namely that he fully taught obedience to it, not that he canceled it. According to Galatians 5:14, loving your neighbor fulfills the entire Law, so everyone since Moses who has loved their neighbor has fulfilled the entire Law, which means that it was not something unique that Jesus did to cancel it. The passage in Hebrews is talking about a transition of the Law from the Levitical priesthood to Jesus, not a change in God's holiness or in the way to act according to His holiness. In 1 Peter 1:13-16, we are told to have a holy conduct for God is a holy, which refers to ceremonial laws, and which is a reference to Leviticus where God was giving instructions for how to have a holy conduct.
