Hebrews 7:8-19

8In thisG5602 caseG5602 mortalG599 menG444 receiveG2983 tithesG1181, but in that caseG1563 one receives them, 1of whom it is witnessedG3140 that he livesG2198 on. 9And, soG5613G2031 to speakG3004, throughG1223 AbrahamG11 evenG2532 LeviG3017, who receivedG2983 tithesG1181, has paidG1183 tithesG1183, 10for he was stillG2089 in the loinsG3751 of his 2forefatherG3962 whenG3753 MelchizedekG3198 metG4876 him.

113SoG3767 ifG1487 perfectionG5050 was throughG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420 (for on the basisG1909 of it 4the peopleG2992 receivedG3549 theG3549 LawG3549), whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there for anotherG2087 priestG2409 to ariseG450 5accordingG2596 to the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198, and not be designatedG3004 accordingG2596 to the orderG5010 of AaronG2? 12For when the priesthoodG2420 is changedG3346, of necessityG318 there takesG1096 placeG1096 a changeG3331 of lawG3551 alsoG2532. 13For 6the one aboutG1909 whomG3739 7theseG3778 thingsG3778 are saidG3004 belongsG3348 to anotherG2087 tribeG5443, from whichG3739 noG3762 oneG3762 has officiatedG4337 at the altarG2379. 14For it is evidentG4271 that our LordG2962 8was 9descendedG393 from JudahG2455, a tribeG5443 with referenceG1519 to whichG3739 MosesG3475 saidG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priestsG2409. 15And this is clearerG2612 stillG2089, ifG1487 anotherG2087 priestG2409 arisesG450 accordingG2596 to the likenessG3665 of MelchizedekG3198, 16whoG3739 has becomeG1096 a priest not on the basisG2596 of a lawG3551 of 1011physicalG4560 requirementG1785, but accordingG2596 to the powerG1411 of 12an indestructibleG179 lifeG2222. 17For it is attestedG3140 of Him, “13You are a priestG2409 foreverG165 AccordingG2596 to the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.” 18For, on the oneG3303 handG3303, there is the nullificationG115 of a formerG4254 commandmentG1785 14becauseG1223 of its weaknessG772 and uselessnessG512 19(for 15the LawG3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048); on the otherG1161 handG1161, there is the introductionG1898 of a betterG2909 16hopeG1680, throughG1223 whichG3739 we 17comeG1448 nearG1448 to GodG2316.
