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.
