Hebrews:7:11-19
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If therefore perfection were (
5713 )
by the Levitical priesthood , (
for under it the people received the law (
5718 ),)
what further need was there that another priest should rise (
5733 )
after the order of Melchisedec ,
and not be called (
5745 )
after the order of Aaron ?
*
For the priesthood being changed (
5746 ),
there is made (
5736 )
of necessity a change also of the law .
*
For he of whom these things are spoken (
5743 )
pertaineth (
5758 )
to another tribe ,
of which no man gave attendance (
5758 )
at the altar .
*
For it is evident that our Lord sprang (
5758 )
out of Juda ;
of which tribe Moses spake (
5656 )
nothing concerning priesthood .
*
And it is (
5748 )
yet far more evident :
for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth (
5731 )
another priest ,
*
Who is made (
5754 ),
not after the law of a carnal commandment ,
but after the power of an endless life .
*
For he testifieth (
5719 ),
Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec .
*
For there is (
5736 )
verily a disannulling of the commandment going before (
5723 )
for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof .
*
For the law made nothing perfect (
5656 ),
but the bringing in of a better hope did ;
by the which we draw nigh (
5719 )
unto God .
