KJV_Strong : Hebrews 7
1. For[G1063] this[G3778] Melchizedek,[G3198] king[G935] of Salem,[G4532] priest[G2409] of the[G3588] most high[G5310] God,[G2316] who met[G4876] Abraham[G11] returning[G5290] from[G575] the[G3588] slaughter[G2871] of the[G3588] kings,[G935] and[G2532] blessed[G2127] him;[G846]
2. To 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]
3. Without 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 unto[G871] the[G3588] Son[G5207] of God;[G2316] abideth[G3306] a priest[G2409] continually.[G1519] [G1336]
4. Now[G1161] consider[G2334] how great[G4080] this man[G3778] was, unto whom[G3739] even[G2532] the[G3588] patriarch[G3966] Abraham[G11] gave[G1325] the tenth[G1181] of[G1537] the[G3588] spoils.[G205]
5. And[G2532] verily[G3303] they[G3588] that are of[G1537] the[G3588] sons[G5207] of Levi,[G3017] who receive[G2983] the[G3588] office of the priesthood,[G2405] have[G2192] a commandment[G1785] to take tithes[G586] of the[G3588] people[G2992] according[G2596] to the[G3588] law,[G3551] that is,[G5123] of their[G848] brethren,[G80] though[G2539] they come[G1831] out of[G1537] the[G3588] loins[G3751] of Abraham: [G11]
6. But[G1161] he whose descent is not counted[G1075] [G3361] from[G1537] them[G846] received tithes[G1183] of Abraham,[G11] and[G2532] blessed[G2127] him that had[G2192] the[G3588] promises.[G1860]
7. And[G1161] without[G5565] all[G3956] contradiction[G485] the[G3588] less[G1640] is blessed[G2127] of[G5259] the[G3588] better.[G2909]
8. And[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]
9. And[G2532] as I may so say,[G5613] [G2031] [G2036] Levi[G3017] also,[G2532] who receiveth[G2983] tithes,[G1181] paid tithes[G1183] in[G1223] Abraham.[G11]
10. For[G1063] he was[G2258] yet[G2089] in[G1722] the[G3588] loins[G3751] of his father,[G3962] when[G3753] Melchizedek[G3198] met[G4876] him.[G846]
11. If[G1487] [G3303] therefore[G3767] perfection[G5050] were[G2258] by[G1223] the[G3588] Levitical[G3020] priesthood,[G2420] (for[G1063] under[G1909] it[G846] the[G3588] 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[G3588] order[G5010] of Melchizedek,[G3198] and[G2532] not[G3756] be called[G3004] after[G2596] the[G3588] order[G5010] of Aaron?[G2]
12. For[G1063] the[G3588] priesthood[G2420] being changed,[G3346] there is made[G1096] of[G1537] necessity[G318] a change[G3331] also[G2532] of the law.[G3551]
13. For[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[G3588] altar.[G2379]
14. For[G1063] it is evident[G4271] that[G3754] our[G2257] Lord[G2962] sprang[G393] out of[G1537] Judah;[G2455] of[G1519] which[G3739] tribe[G5443] Moses[G3475] spake[G2980] nothing[G3762] concerning[G4012] priesthood.[G2420]
15. And[G2532] it is[G2076] yet[G2089] far more[G4054] evident:[G2612] for that[G1487] after[G2596] the[G3588] similitude[G3665] of Melchizedek[G3198] there ariseth[G450] another[G2087] priest,[G2409]
16. Who[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]
17. For[G1063] he testifieth,[G3140]
18. For[G1063] there is[G1096] verily[G3303] a disannulling[G115] of the commandment[G1785] going before[G4254] for[G1223] the[G3588] weakness[G772] and[G2532] unprofitableness[G512] thereof.[G846]
19. For[G1063] the[G3588] law[G3551] made nothing perfect,[G5048] [G3762] 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]
20. And[G2532] inasmuch as[G2596] [G3745] not[G3756] without[G5565] an oath[G3728] he was made priest:
21. (For[G1063] those priests[G2409] [G3303] were[G1526] made[G1096] without[G5565] an oath;[G3728] but[G1161] this[G3588] with[G3326] an oath[G3728] by[G1223] him that said[G3004] unto[G4314] him,[G846]
22. By[G2596] so much[G5118] was Jesus[G2424] made[G1096] a surety[G1450] of a better[G2909] testament.[G1242]
23. And[G2532] they[G3588] truly[G3303] were[G1526] many[G4119] priests,[G2409] because they were not suffered[G2967] to continue[G3887] by reason of death: [G2288]
24. But[G1161] this[G3588] man, because he[G846] continueth[G3306] ever,[G1519] [G165] hath[G2192] an unchangeable[G531] priesthood.[G2420]
25. Wherefore[G3606] he is able[G1410] also[G2532] to save[G4982] them to[G1519] the[G3588] uttermost[G3838] that come[G4334] unto God[G2316] by[G1223] him,[G846] seeing he ever[G3842] liveth[G2198] to make intercession[G1793] for[G5228] them.[G846]
26. For[G1063] such[G5108] a 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[G5308] than the[G3588] heavens;[G3772]
27. Who[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[G3588] the[G3588] people's:[G2992] for[G1063] this[G5124] he did[G4160] once,[G2178] when he offered up[G399] himself.[G1438]
28. For[G1063] the[G3588] law[G3551] maketh[G2525] men[G444] high priests[G749] which have[G2192] infirmity;[G769] but[G1161] the[G3588] word[G3056] of the[G3588] oath,[G3728] which[G3588] was since[G3326] the[G3588] law,[G3551] maketh the Son,[G5207] who is consecrated[G5048] forevermore.[G1519] [G165]
