Hebrews 7:1-17

For
<1063>
this
<3778>
Melchisedec
<3198>_,
king
<935>
of Salem
<4532>_,
priest
<2409>
of the most high
<5310>
God
<2316>_,
who
<3588>
met
<4876> (5660)
Abraham
<11>
returning
<5290> (5723)
from
<575>
the slaughter
<2871>
of the kings
<935>_,
and
<2532>
blessed
<2127> (5660)
him
<846>_;
To whom
<3739>
also
<2532>
Abraham
<11>
gave
<3307> (5656)
a tenth part
<1181>
of
<575>
all
<3956>_;
first
<4412> <3303>
being by interpretation
<2059> (5746)
King
<935>
of righteousness
<1343>_,
and
<1161>
after that
<1899>
also
<2532>
King
<935>
of Salem
<4532>_,
which is
<3603> (5748)_,
King
<935>
of peace
<1515>_;
Without father
<540>_,
without mother
<282>_,
without descent
<35>_,
having
<2192> (5723)
neither
<3383>
beginning
<746>
of days
<2250>_,
nor
<3383>
end
<5056>
of life
<2222>_;
but
<1161>
made like
<871> (5772)
unto the Son
<5207>
of God
<2316>_;
abideth
<3306> (5719)
a priest
<2409>
continually
<1519> <1336>_.
{without descent: Gr. without pedigree}
Now
<1161>
consider
<2334> (5719) (5720)
how great
<4080>
this man
<3778>
[was], unto whom
<3739>
even
<2532>
the patriarch
<3966>
Abraham
<11>
gave
<1325> (5656)
the tenth
<1181>
of
<1537>
the spoils
<205>_.
And
<2532>
verily
<3303>
they that are of
<1537>
the sons
<5207>
of Levi
<3017>_,
who
<3588>
receive
<2983> (5723)
the office of the priesthood
<2405>_,
have
<2192> (5719)
a commandment
<1785>
to take tithes
<586> (5721)
of the people
<2992>
according to
<2596>
the law
<3551>_,
that is
<5123> (5748)_,
of their
<846>
brethren
<80>_,
though
<2539>
they come
<1831> (5761)
out of
<1537>
the loins
<3751>
of Abraham
<11>_:
But
<1161>
he whose descent is
<1075> (0)
not
<3361>
counted
<1075> (5746)
from
<1537>
them
<846>
received tithes
<1183> (5758)
of Abraham
<11>_,
and
<2532>
blessed
<2127> (5758)
him that had
<2192> (5723)
the promises
<1860>_.
{descent: or, pedigree}
And
<1161>
without
<5565>
all
<3956>
contradiction
<485>
the less
<1640>
is blessed
<2127> (5743)
of
<5259>
the better
<2909>_.
And
<2532>
here
<5602> <3303>
men
<444>
that die
<599> (5723)
receive
<2983> (5719)
tithes
<1181>_;
but
<1161>
there
<1563>
he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed
<3140> (5746)
that
<3754>
he liveth
<2198> (5719)_.
And
<2532>
as
<5613>
I may so say
<2031> <2036> (5629)_,
Levi
<3017>
also
<2532>_,
who
<3588>
receiveth
<2983> (5723)
tithes
<1181>_,
payed tithes
<1183> (5769)
in
<1223>
Abraham
<11>_.
For
<1063>
he was
<2258> (5713)
yet
<2089>
in
<1722>
the loins
<3751>
of his father
<3962>_,
when
<3753>
Melchisedec
<3198>
met
<4876> (5656)
him
<846>_.
If
<1487> <3303>
therefore
<3767>
perfection
<5050>
were
<2258> (5713)
by
<1223>
the Levitical
<3020>
priesthood
<2420>_,
(for
<1063>
under
<1909>
it
<846>
the people
<2992>
received the law
<3549> (5718),)
what
<5101>
further
<2089>
need
<5532>
[was there] that another
<2087>
priest
<2409>
should rise
<450> (5733)
after
<2596>
the order
<5010>
of Melchisedec
<3198>_,
and
<2532>
not
<3756>
be called
<3004> (5745)
after
<2596>
the order
<5010>
of Aaron
<2>_?
For
<1063>
the priesthood
<2420>
being changed
<3346> (5746)_,
there is made
<1096> (5736)
of
<1537>
necessity
<318>
a change
<3331>
also
<2532>
of the law
<3551>_.
For
<1063>
he of
<1909>
whom
<3739>
these things
<5023>
are spoken
<3004> (5743)
pertaineth
<3348> (5758)
to another
<2087>
tribe
<5443>_,
of
<575>
which
<3739>
no man
<3762>
gave attendance
<4337> (5758)
at the altar
<2379>_.
For
<1063>
[it is] evident
<4271>
that
<3754>
our
<2257>
Lord
<2962>
sprang
<393> (5758)
out of
<1537>
Juda
<2455>_;
of
<1519>
which
<3739>
tribe
<5443>
Moses
<3475>
spake
<2980> (5656)
nothing
<3762>
concerning
<4012>
priesthood
<2420>_.
And
<2532>
it is
<2076> (5748)
yet
<2089>
far more
<4054>
evident
<2612>_:
for
<1487>
that after
<2596>
the similitude
<3665>
of Melchisedec
<3198>
there ariseth
<450> (5731)
another
<2087>
priest
<2409>_,
Who
<3739>
is made
<1096> (5754)_,
not
<3756>
after
<2596>
the law
<3551>
of a carnal
<4559>
commandment
<1785>_,
but
<235>
after
<2596>
the power
<1411>
of an endless
<179>
life
<2222>_.
For
<1063>
he testifieth
<3140> (5719)_,

<3754>
Thou
<4771>
[art] a priest
<2409>
for
<1519>
ever
<165>
after
<2596>
the order
<5010>
of Melchisedec
<3198>_.
