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 .
