wesleynt Hebrews:7:1-10
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:1 @ For this Melchisedek king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him,
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:2 @ To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all the spoils; being by interpretation, first king of righteousness, and then king of Salem also, which is king of peace;
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:3 @ Without father, without mother, without pedigree, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life, but being made like the son of God, remaineth a priest continually.
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:4 @ Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils,
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:5 @ And verily they of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment (according to the law) to take tithes of the people, that is, of their brethren, tho' they come out of the loins of Abraham.
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:6 @ But he whose pedigree is not from them, took tythes of Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises:
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:7 @ And without all contradiction, the less is blessed of the greater.
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:8 @ And here men that die receive tithes: but there, he of whom it is witnessed, that he liveth.
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:9 @ And even Levi, who receiveth tithes, paid tithes (so to speak) thro' Abraham.
wesleynt@Hebrews:7:10 @ For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedek met him.
