1 For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him, YLT — Hebrews 7:1
2 to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, ‘King of righteousness,’ and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,) YLT — Hebrews 7:2
3 without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, doth remain a priest continually. YLT — Hebrews 7:3
4 And see how great this one [is], to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils, YLT — Hebrews 7:4
5 and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham; YLT — Hebrews 7:5
6 and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he hath blessed, YLT — Hebrews 7:6
7 and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed — YLT — Hebrews 7:7
8 and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there [he], who is testified to that he was living, YLT — Hebrews 7:8
9 and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, hath paid tithes, YLT — Hebrews 7:9
10 for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him. YLT — Hebrews 7:10
11 If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood — for the people under it had received law — what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron? YLT — Hebrews 7:11
12 for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change doth come, YLT — Hebrews 7:12
13 for he of whom these things are said in another tribe hath had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar, YLT — Hebrews 7:13
14 for [it is] evident that out of Judah hath arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. YLT — Hebrews 7:14
15 And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there doth arise another priest, YLT — Hebrews 7:15
16 who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life, YLT — Hebrews 7:16
17 for He doth testify — ‘Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;’ YLT — Hebrews 7:17
18 for a disannulling indeed doth come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness, YLT — Hebrews 7:18
19 (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw nigh to God. YLT — Hebrews 7:19
20 And inasmuch as [it is] not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests, YLT — Hebrews 7:20
21 and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, ‘The Lord sware, and will not repent, Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;’) YLT — Hebrews 7:21
22 by so much of a better covenant hath Jesus become surety, YLT — Hebrews 7:22
23 and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining; YLT — Hebrews 7:23
24 and he, because of his remaining — to the age, hath the priesthood not transient, YLT — Hebrews 7:24
25 whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God — ever living to make intercession for them. YLT — Hebrews 7:25
26 For such a chief priest did become us — kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens, YLT — Hebrews 7:26
27 who hath no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself; YLT — Hebrews 7:27
28 for the law doth appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that [is] after the law [appointeth] the Son — to the age having been perfected. YLT — Hebrews 7:28
