Hebrews 7:8

and in one case tithes are received by mortal men, while in the other by him who is affirmed to be alive.

In the one case, the tenth is collected by men who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.

In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

In the case of Jewish priests, tithes are paid to men who will die. But Melchizedek is greater than they are, because we are told that he lives on.

Or look at it this way: We pay our tithes to priests who die, but Abraham paid tithes to a priest who, the Scripture says, "lives."

Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

In the one case, tithes are received by those who are mortal; in the other, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.

Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them , of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

and in one case tithes are received by mortal men, while in the other by him who is affirmed to be alive.
