Hebrews 7:8-19
8And hereG5602 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessedG3140 that he liveth. 9And, so to sayG3004, through AbrahamG11 evenG2532 Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes; 10for he wasG1510 yetG2089 in the loinsG3751 of his fatherG3962, whenG3753 MelchizedekG3198 met him.
11Now if there wasG1510 perfection through the Levitical priesthoodG2420 (for under it hath the peopleG2992 received the law), what further needG5532 wasG1510 there that another priestG2409 should ariseG450 after the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198, and not beG1510 reckoned after the orderG5010 of AaronG2? 12For the priesthoodG2420 being changed, there is made of necessityG318 a change alsoG2532 of the lawG3551. 13For he of whom these thingsG3778 are saidG3004 belongeth to another tribeG5443, from which no manG3778 hath given attendance at the altarG2379. 14For it is evidentG4271 that our LordG2962 hath sprung out of JudahG2455; as to which tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spake nothing concerningG4012 priestsG2409. 15And what we say isG1510 yet moreG2089 abundantly evident, if after the likeness of MelchizedekG3198 there ariseth another priestG2409, 16who hath been made, not after the lawG3551 of a carnal commandmentG1785, but after the powerG1411 of an endless lifeG2222: 17for it is witnessedG3140 of him,
18For there is a disannulling of a foregoing commandmentG1785 because of its weaknessG772 and unprofitableness 19(for the lawG3551 madeG5048 nothing perfectG5048), and a bringing in thereupon of a better hopeG1680, through which we drawG1448 nigh unto GodG2316.
