Hebrews Chapter 7
7:1 | For this Melchisedec, ![]() ![]() |
7:2 | To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation ![]() ![]() ![]() |
7:3 | Without father, without mother, without descent, having neither ![]() ![]() |
7:4 | Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. |
7:5 | And ![]() ![]() |
7:6 | But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. |
7:7 | And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. |
7:8 | And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. |
7:9 | And as I may so say, ![]() |
7:10 | For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. |
7:11 | 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? |
7:12 | For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. |
7:13 | For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. |
7:14 | For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. |
7:15 | And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, |
7:16 | Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the ![]() |
7:17 | For he testifieth, Thou ![]() |
7:18 | For there is ![]() |
7:19 | For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God. |
7:20 | And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]: |
7:21 | (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 ![]() |
7:22 | By so much was ![]() |
7:23 | And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of ![]() |
7:24 | But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. |
7:25 | Wherefore he is able also to ![]() |
7:26 | For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; |
7:27 | Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people' for this he did once, when he offered up himself. |
7:28 | 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. |
