Hebrews:7:11-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
If indeed then perfection through the Levitical priesthood was ; (
the people for with her law had received ;)
what yet need ,
according to the order of Melchizedek another to arise a priest ,
and not according to the order of Aaron to be named ?
*
Being changed for the priesthood ,
from necessity also of law a change occurs .
*
Concerning whom for is spoken these things ,
of a tribe another has been a partaker ,
from which no one has attended to the altar ;
*
evident for ,
that from Juda has sprung the Lord of us ,
respecting which tribe nothing concerning priesthood Moses spoke .
*
And more yet evident it is ,
if according to the likeness of Melchizedek arises a priest another ,
*
who not according to a law of a commandment fleshly has become ,
but according to a power of life enduring .
*
It testifies for :
That thou a priest for the age according to the order of Melchizedek .
*
An abrogation indeed for takes places of a preceding commandment ,
on account of the her weakness and unprofitableness ;
* (
nothing for perfected the law ;)
after introduction but of a better hope ,
through which we draw near to the God .
*
And in as much as not without swearing ; (
they indeed for without swearing are priests having become ;
*
he but with swearing through the one saying to him :
Swore a Lord ,
and not will change ;
Thou a priest for the age according to the order of Melchizedek ;)
*
by so much better a covenant has become a surety Jesus .
*
And they indeed ,
many are having become priests ,
on account of the death to be hindered to continue ;
*
he but ,
on account of the to continue him for the age ,
unchangeable he has the priesthood ;
*
hence and to save for the completely is able those drawing near through him to the God ,
always living ,
in order to the interpose in behalf of them .
*
Such for to us was proper a high
priest ,
holy ,
free from sin ,
unstained ,
having been separated from the sinners ,
and more exalted of the heavens having become ;
*
who not has every day necessity ,
as the high
priests ,
first on behalf of the own sins sacrifices to offer ,
then for those of the people ;
this for he did at once ,
himself offered .
*
The law for men appoints high
priests ,
having weakness ;
the word but of the swearing of that after the law ,
a son for to the age having been perfected .
