58_HEB_07_01 for this Melchisedec , king of Salem , priest of the most high God , who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings , And blessed him ;
58_HEB_07_02 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 ;
58_HEB_07_03 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 .
58_HEB_07_04 now consider how great this man [ was ] , unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils .
58_HEB_07_05 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 :
58_HEB_07_06 but he whose descent Is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham , And blessed him that had the promises .
58_HEB_07_07 And without all contradiction the less Is blessed of the Better .
58_HEB_07_08 And here men that die receive tithes ; but there he [ receiveth them ] , of whom it Is witnessed that he liveth .
58_HEB_07_09 And as I may So say , Levi also , who receiveth tithes , payed tithes in Abraham .
58_HEB_07_10 for he was yet in the loins of his Father , when Melchisedec met him .
58_HEB_07_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 ?
58_HEB_07_12 for the priesthood being changed , there Is made of necessity A change also of the law .
58_HEB_07_13 for he of whom These things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe , of which no man gave attendance at the altar .
58_HEB_07_14 for [ it Is ] evident that our LORD sprang out of Juda ; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood .
58_HEB_07_15 And it Is yet far more evident : for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest ,
58_HEB_07_16 who Is made , not after the law of A carnal commandment , but after the power of an endless life .
58_HEB_07_17 for he testifieth , thou [ art ] A priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec .
58_HEB_07_18 for there Is Verily A disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness And unprofitableness thereof .
58_HEB_07_19 for the law made nothing perfect , but the bringing in of A Better hope [ did ] ; by the which we draw nigh unto God .
58_HEB_07_20 And inasmuch as not without an oath [ he was made priest ] :
58_HEB_07_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 [ art ] A priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec : ]
58_HEB_07_22 by So much was Jesus made A surety of A Better testament .
58_HEB_07_23 And they truly were Many priests , because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death :
58_HEB_07_24 but this [ man ] , because he continueth ever , hath an unchangeable priesthood .
58_HEB_07_25 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 .
58_HEB_07_26 for such an high priest became us , [ who Is ] holy , harmless , undefiled , separate from sinners , And made higher than the heavens ;
58_HEB_07_27 who needeth 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 .
58_HEB_07_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 .
