[[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-4|4]] Now consider how great this man [(//was//)], to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-5|5]] 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: [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-6|6]] But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-7|7]] And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-8|8]] And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [(//receives them//)], of whom it is witnessed that he lives. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-9|9]] And as I may so say, Levi also, who receives tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-10|10]] For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-11|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? [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-12|12]] For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-13|13]] For he of whom these things are spoken pertains to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-14|14]] For [(//it is//)] evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah; of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-15|15]] And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there arises another priest, [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-16|16]] Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-17|17]] For he testifies, You [(//art//)] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-18|18]] For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitablity thereof. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-19|19]] For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [(//did//)]; by the which we draw nigh to God. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-20|20]] And inasmuch as not without an oath [(//he was made priest//)]: [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-21|21]] (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord swear and will not repent, You [(//art//)] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:) [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-22|22]] By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-23|23]] And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-24|24]] But this [(//man//)], because he continues ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-25|25]] Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to God by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-26|26]] For such an high priest became us, [(//who is//)] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-27|27]] Who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. [[new testament:interlinear:Hebrews7-28|28]] For the law makes men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [(//makes//)] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore. ---- [[http://christopedia.eu|{{:new_testament:matthew:matthew:chapters:home-icon.png?15|home}}]] Chapters: [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter1|1]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter2|2]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter3|3]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter4|4]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter5|5]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter6|6]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter7|7]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter8|8]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter9|9]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter10|10]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter11|11]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter12|12]] [[new testament:hebrews:hebrews:chapters:chapter13|13]] {{like>}}
