Hebrews 7 Interlinear

to whom also abraham 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

without father without mother without descent having neither beginning of days nor end of life but made like unto the son of god abideth a priest continually

now consider how great this man was unto whom even the patriarch abraham gave the tenth of the spoils

and verily they that are of the sons of levi who receive the office of the priesthood have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law that is of their brethren though they come out of the loins of abraham

but he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of abraham and blessed him that had the promises

and without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better

and here men that die receive tithes but there he receiveth them of whom it is witnessed that he liveth

and as i may so say levi also who receiveth tithes payed tithes in abraham

for he was yet in the loins of his father when melchisedec met him

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

for the priesthood being changed there is made of necessity a change also of the law

for he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe of which no man gave attendance at the altar

for it is evident that our lord sprang out of juda of which tribe moses spake nothing concerning priesthood

and it is yet far more evident for that after the similitude of melchisedec there ariseth another priest

who is made not after the law of a carnal commandment but after the power of an endless life

for he testifieth thou art a priest for ever after the order of melchisedec

for there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof

for the law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope did by the which we draw nigh unto god

and inasmuch as not without an oath

for those priests were made without an oath but this with an oath by him that said unto him the lord sware and will not repent thou art a priest for ever after the order of melchisedec

by so much was jesus made a surety of a better testament

and they truly were many priests because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death

but this man because he continueth ever hath an unchangeable priesthood

wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto god by him seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them

for such an high priest became us who is holy harmless undefiled separate from sinners and made higher than the heavens

who needeth not daily as those high priests to offer up sacrifice first for his own sins and then for the peoples for this he did once when he offered up himself

for the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity but the word of the oath which was since the law maketh the son who is consecrated for evermore
