Hebrews 7 : 1 (YLT)

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,

Hebrews 7 : 2 (YLT)

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,)

Hebrews 7 : 3 (YLT)

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.

Hebrews 7 : 4 (YLT)

And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils,

Hebrews 7 : 5 (YLT)

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;

Hebrews 7 : 6 (YLT)

and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed,

Hebrews 7 : 7 (YLT)

and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed --

Hebrews 7 : 8 (YLT)

and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is testified to that he was living,

Hebrews 7 : 9 (YLT)

and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes,

Hebrews 7 : 10 (YLT)

for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him.

Hebrews 7 : 11 (YLT)

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?

Hebrews 7 : 12 (YLT)

for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come,

Hebrews 7 : 13 (YLT)

for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar,

Hebrews 7 : 14 (YLT)

for [it is] evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

Hebrews 7 : 15 (YLT)

And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest,

Hebrews 7 : 16 (YLT)

who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life,

Hebrews 7 : 17 (YLT)

for He doth testify -- `Thou [art] a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;`

Hebrews 7 : 18 (YLT)

for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness,

Hebrews 7 : 19 (YLT)

(for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God.

Hebrews 7 : 20 (YLT)

And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests,

Hebrews 7 : 21 (YLT)

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;`)

Hebrews 7 : 22 (YLT)

by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety,

Hebrews 7 : 23 (YLT)

and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining;

Hebrews 7 : 24 (YLT)

and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, hath the priesthood not transient,

Hebrews 7 : 25 (YLT)

whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them.

Hebrews 7 : 26 (YLT)

For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens,

Hebrews 7 : 27 (YLT)

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;

Hebrews 7 : 28 (YLT)

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.
