7:1 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;

7:2 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;

7:3 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)

7:4 Now 1161 consider 2334 5719 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.

7:5 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:

7:6 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)

7:7 And 1161 without 5565 all 3956 contradiction 485 the less 1640 is blessed 2127 5743 of 5259 the better 2909.

7:8 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.

7:9 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.

7:10 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.

7:11 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?

7:12 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.

7:13 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.

7:14 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.

7:15 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,

7:16 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.

7:17 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.

7:18 For 1063 there is 1096 5736 verily 3303 a disannulling 115 of the commandment 1785 going before 4254 5723 for 1223 the weakness 772 and 2532 unprofitableness 512 thereof 846.

7:19 For 1063 the law 3551 made 5048 0 nothing 3762 perfect 5048 5656, but 1161 the bringing in 1898 of a better 2909 hope 1680 [did]; by 1223 the which 3739 we draw nigh 1448 5719 unto God 2316.(the bringing…: or, it was the bringing in)

7:20 And 2532 inasmuch as 2596 3745 not 3756 without 5565 an oath 3728 [he was made priest]:

7:21 (For 1063 those priests 2409 were 3303 1526 5748 made 1096 5756 without 5565 an oath 3728; but 1161 this with 3326 an oath 3728 by 1223 him that said 3004 5723 unto 4314 him 846, The Lord 2962 sware 3660 5656 and 2532 will 3338 0 not 3756 repent 3338 5700, Thou 4771 [art] a priest 2409 for 1519 ever 165 after 2596 the order 5010 of Melchisedec 3198:)(without…: or, without swearing of an oath)

7:22 By 2596 so much 5118 was 1096 0 Jesus 2424 made 1096 5754 a surety 1450 of a better 2909 testament 1242.

7:23 And 2532 they 1526 0 truly 3303 were 1526 5748 1096 5756 many 4119 priests 2409, because they were not suffered 2967 5745 to continue 3887 5721 by reason of 1223 death 2288:

7:24 But 1161 this [man], because 1223 he 846 continueth 3306 5721 ever 1519 165, hath 2192 5719 an unchangeable 531 priesthood 2420.(an…: or, which passeth not from one to another)

7:25 Wherefore 3606 he is able 1410 5736 also 2532 to save them 4982 5721 to 1519 the uttermost 3838 that come 4334 5740 unto God 2316 by 1223 him 846, seeing he ever 3842 liveth 2198 5723 to 1519 make intercession 1793 5721 for 5228 them 846.(to the…: or, evermore)

7:26 For 1063 such 5108 an high priest 749 became 4241 5707 us 2254, [who is] holy 3741, harmless 172, undefiled 283, separate 5563 5772 from 575 sinners 268, and 2532 made 1096 5637 higher than 5308 the heavens 3772;

7:27 Who 3739 needeth 2192 5719 318 not 3756 daily 2596 2250, as 5618 those high priests 749, to offer up 399 5721 sacrifice 2378, first 4386 for 5228 his own 2398 sins 266, and then 1899 for the people's 2992: for 1063 this 5124 he did 4160 5656 once 2178, when he offered up 399 5660 himself 1438.

7:28 For 1063 the law 3551 maketh 2525 5719 men 444 high priests 749 which have 2192 5723 infirmity 769; but 1161 the word 3056 of the oath 3728, which 3588 was since 3326 the law 3551, [maketh] the Son 5207, who is consecrated 5048 5772 for 1519 evermore 165.(consecrated: Gr. perfected)
