jub - Hebrews:7

jub@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

jub@Hebrews:7:2 @ to whom Abraham also gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is King of peace;

jub@Hebrews:7:3 @ without father, without mother, without lineage, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God; abides a priest continually.

jub@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this one [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

jub@Hebrews:7:5 @ And verily those that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they also have come out of the loins of Abraham;

jub@Hebrews:7:6 @ but he whose descent is not counted in those took tithes from Abraham and blessed him that had the promises.

jub@Hebrews:7:7 @ And without any contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

jub@Hebrews:7:8 @ In the same manner, here men that die take tithes; but there he [received them], of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

jub@Hebrews:7:9 @ And as I may so say, Levi also, who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

jub@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

jub@Hebrews:7:11 @ 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?

jub@Hebrews:7:12 @ For the priesthood being transposed, there is made of necessity a translation also of the law.

jub@Hebrews:7:13 @ For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no one presided [at] the altar.

jub@Hebrews:7:14 @ For [it is] manifest that our Lord sprang out of Juda, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

jub@Hebrews:7:15 @ And it is yet far more manifest: if there arises another priest who is like unto Melchisedec,

jub@Hebrews:7:16 @ who is not made according to the law of a carnal commandment, but by the virtue of an indissoluble life;

jub@Hebrews:7:17 @ for the testimony is of this manner, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

jub@Hebrews:7:18 @ For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness of it;

jub@Hebrews:7:19 @ for the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did], by which we draw near unto God.

jub@Hebrews:7:20 @ And [even more], inasmuch as it [is] not without an oath

jub@Hebrews:7:21 @ (for the others indeed without an oath were made priests, but this one with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord swore and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec);

jub@Hebrews:7:22 @ by so much better testament is Jesus made surety.

jub@Hebrews:7:23 @ And the others, truly, were many priests because they were not able to continue by reason of death:

jub@Hebrews:7:24 @ but this [man], because he continues forever, has the intransmissible priesthood.

jub@Hebrews:7:25 @ Therefore he is able also to save to the uttermost those that come unto God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them.

jub@Hebrews:7:26 @ For it was expedient that we have such a high priest, [who is] holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens,

jub@Hebrews:7:27 @ who needs 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.

jub@Hebrews:7:28 @ For the law makes men high priests who have weakness; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, has made perfect [a] Son forever.:
