ylt@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him,

ylt@Hebrews:7:2 @to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, 'King of righteousness,' and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,)

ylt@Hebrews:7:3 @without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually.

ylt@Hebrews:7:4 @And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

ylt@Hebrews:7:5 @and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham;

ylt@Hebrews:7:6 @and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

ylt@Hebrews:7:7 @and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --

ylt@Hebrews:7:8 @and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is testified to that he was living,

ylt@Hebrews:7:9 @and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,

ylt@Hebrews:7:10 @for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.

ylt@Hebrews:7:11 @If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

ylt@Hebrews:7:12 @for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,

ylt@Hebrews:7:13 @for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,

ylt@Hebrews:7:14 @for [it is] evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

ylt@Hebrews:7:15 @And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

ylt@Hebrews:7:16 @who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

ylt@Hebrews:7:17 @for He doth testify -- 'Thou [art] a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

ylt@Hebrews:7:18 @for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

ylt@Hebrews:7:19 @(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

ylt@Hebrews:7:20 @And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests,

ylt@Hebrews:7:21 @and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, 'The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;')

ylt@Hebrews:7:22 @by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

ylt@Hebrews:7:23 @and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

ylt@Hebrews:7:24 @and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

ylt@Hebrews:7:25 @whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

ylt@Hebrews:7:26 @For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

ylt@Hebrews:7:27 @who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself;

ylt@Hebrews:7:28 @for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that [is] after the law [appointeth] the Son -- to the age having been perfected.
