rwbs - Hebrews:7:11-28

rwbs@Hebrews:7:11 @ If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need that another priest should rise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

rwbs@Hebrews:7:12 @ For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:14 @ For evident that our Lord sprang from Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:15 @ And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,

rwbs@Hebrews:7:16 @ Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:17 @ For he testifieth, Thou a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:18 @ For there is verily a setting aside of the former commandment on account of its weakness and unprofitableness.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:19 @ For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope; by which we draw near to God. (note:)the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in(:note)

rwbs@Hebrews:7:20 @ And inasmuch as not without an oath:

rwbs@Hebrews:7:21 @ (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek:) (note:)without…: or, without swearing of an oath(:note)

rwbs@Hebrews:7:22 @ By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:23 @ And they truly were many priests, because they were not allowed to continue by reason of death:

rwbs@Hebrews:7:24 @ But this, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. (note:)an…: or, which passeth not from one to another(:note)

rwbs@Hebrews:7:25 @ Therefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. (note:)to the…: or, evermore(:note)

rwbs@Hebrews:7:26 @ For such an high priest was befitting for us, holy, blameless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

rwbs@Hebrews:7:27 @ Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

rwbs@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the law maketh men high priests who have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. (note:)consecrated: Gr. perfected(:note)
