Hebrews 7 (kjv)

For^G1063 this^G3778 Melchisedec^G3198, king^G935 of Salem^G4532, priest^G2409 of the most high^G5310 God^G2316, who^G3588 met^G4876 Abraham^G11 returning^G5290 from^G575 the slaughter^G2871 of the kings^G935, and^G2532 blessed^G2127 him^G846;²To whom^G3739 also^G2532 Abraham^G11 gave^G3307 a tenth part^G1181 of^G575 all^G3956; first^{G4412 G3303} being by interpretation^G2059 King^G935 of righteousness^G1343, and^G1161 after that^G1899 also^G2532 King^G935 of Salem^G4532, which is^G3603, King^G935 of peace^G1515;³Without father^G540, without mother^G282, without descent^G35, having^G2192 neither^G3383 beginning^G746 of days^G2250, nor^G3383 end^G5056 of life^G2222; but^G1161 made like^G871 unto the Son^G5207 of God^G2316; abideth^G3306 a priest^G2409 continually^{G1519 G1336}.⁴Now^G1161 consider^G2334 how great^G4080 this man^G3778 was, unto whom^G3739 even^G2532 the patriarch^G3966 Abraham^G11 gave^G1325 the tenth^G1181 of^G1537 the spoils^G205.⁵And^G2532 verily^G3303 they that are of^G1537 the sons^G5207 of Levi^G3017, who^G3588 receive^G2983 the office of the priesthood^G2405, have^G2192 a commandment^G1785 to take tithes^G586 of the people^G2992 according to^G2596 the law^G3551, that is^G5123, of their^G846 brethren^G80, though^G2539 they come^G1831 out of^G1537 the loins^G3751 of Abraham^G11:⁶But^G1161 he whose descent is^G1075 not^G3361 counted^G1075 from^G1537 them^G846 received tithes^G1183 of Abraham^G11, and^G2532 blessed^G2127 him that had^G2192 the promises^G1860.⁷And^G1161 without^G5565 all^G3956 contradiction^G485 the less^G1640 is blessed^G2127 of^G5259 the better^G2909.⁸And^G2532 here^{G5602 G3303} men^G444 that die^G599 receive^G2983 tithes^G1181; but^G1161 there^G1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed^G3140 that^G3754 he liveth^G2198.⁹And^G2532 as^G5613 I may so say^{G2031 G2036}, Levi^G3017 also^G2532, who^G3588 receiveth^G2983 tithes^G1181, payed tithes^G1183 in^G1223 Abraham^G11.¹⁰For^G1063 he was^G2258 yet^G2089 in^G1722 the loins^G3751 of his father^G3962, when^G3753 Melchisedec^G3198 met^G4876 him^G846.¹¹If^{G1487 G3303} therefore^G3767 perfection^G5050 were^G2258 by^G1223 the Levitical^G3020 priesthood^G2420, (for^G1063 under^G1909 it^G846 the people^G2992 received the law^G3549 what^G5101 further^G2089 need^G5532 was there that another^G2087 priest^G2409 should rise^G450 after^G2596 the order^G5010 of Melchisedec^G3198, and^G2532 not^G3756 be called^G3004 after^G2596 the order^G5010 of Aaron^G2?¹²For^G1063 the priesthood^G2420 being changed^G3346, there is made^G1096 of^G1537 necessity^G318 a change^G3331 also^G2532 of the law^G3551.¹³For^G1063 he of^G1909 whom^G3739 these things^G5023 are spoken^G3004 pertaineth^G3348 to another^G2087 tribe^G5443, of^G575 which^G3739 no man^G3762 gave attendance^G4337 at the altar^G2379.¹⁴For^G1063 it is evident^G4271 that^G3754 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 sprang^G393 out of^G1537 Juda^G2455; of^G1519 which^G3739 tribe^G5443 Moses^G3475 spake^G2980 nothing^G3762 concerning^G4012 priesthood^G2420.¹⁵And^G2532 it is^G2076 yet^G2089 far more^G4054 evident^G2612: for^G1487 that after^G2596 the similitude^G3665 of Melchisedec^G3198 there ariseth^G450 another^G2087 priest^G2409,¹⁶Who^G3739 is made^G1096, not^G3756 after^G2596 the law^G3551 of a carnal^G4559 commandment^G1785, but^G235 after^G2596 the power^G1411 of an endless^G179 life^G2222.¹⁷For^G1063 he testifieth^G3140,^G3754 Thou^G4771 art a priest^G2409 for^G1519 ever^G165 after^G2596 the order^G5010 of Melchisedec^G3198.¹⁸For^G1063 there is^G1096 verily^G3303 a disannulling^G115 of the commandment^G1785 going before^G4254 for^G1223 the weakness^G772 and^G2532 unprofitableness^G512 thereof^G846.¹⁹For^G1063 the law^G3551 made^G5048 nothing^G3762 perfect^G5048, but^G1161 the bringing in^G1898 of a better^G2909 hope^G1680 did; by^G1223 the which^G3739 we draw nigh^G1448 unto God^G2316.²⁰And^G2532 inasmuch as^{G2596 G3745} not^G3756 without^G5565 an oath^G3728 he was made priest:²¹(For^G1063 those priests^G2409 were^{G3303 G1526} made^G1096 without^G5565 an oath^G3728; but^G1161 this with^G3326 an oath^G3728 by^G1223 him that said^G3004 unto^G4314 him^G846, The Lord^G2962 sware^G3660 and^G2532 will^G3338 not^G3756 repent^G3338, Thou^G4771 art a priest^G2409 for^G1519 ever^G165 after^G2596 the order^G5010 of Melchisedec^G3198:)²²By^G2596 so much^G5118 was^G1096 Jesus^G2424 made^G1096 a surety^G1450 of a better^G2909 testament^G1242.²³And^G2532 they^G1526 truly^G3303 were^{G1526 G1096} many^G4119 priests^G2409, because they were not suffered^G2967 to continue^G3887 by reason of^G1223 death^G2288:²⁴But^G1161 this man, because^G1223 he^G846 continueth^G3306 ever^{G1519 G165}, hath^G2192 an unchangeable^G531 priesthood^G2420.²⁵Wherefore^G3606 he is able^G1410 also^G2532 to save them^G4982 to^G1519 the uttermost^G3838 that come^G4334 unto God^G2316 by^G1223 him^G846, seeing he ever^G3842 liveth^G2198 to^G1519 make intercession^G1793 for^G5228 them^G846.²⁶For^G1063 such^G5108 an high priest^G749 became^G4241 us^G2254, who is holy^G3741, harmless^G172, undefiled^G283, separate^G5563 from^G575 sinners^G268, and^G2532 made^G1096 higher than^G5308 the heavens^G3772;²⁷Who^G3739 needeth^{G2192 G318} not^G3756 daily^{G2596 G2250}, as^G5618 those high priests^G749, to offer up^G399 sacrifice^G2378, first^G4386 for^G5228 his own^G2398 sins^G266, and then^G1899 for the people's^G2992: for^G1063 this^G5124 he did^G4160 once^G2178, when he offered up^G399 himself^G1438.²⁸For^G1063 the law^G3551 maketh^G2525 men^G444 high priests^G749 which have^G2192 infirmity^G769; but^G1161 the word^G3056 of the oath^G3728, which^G3588 was since^G3326 the law^G3551, maketh the Son^G5207, who is consecrated^G5048 for^G1519 evermore^G165.
