Hebrews 7
Revised Literal Translation
1ForG1063 thisG3778 MelchisedecG3198, kingG935 of SalemG4532, priestG2409 of theG3588G2316 most highG5310 GodG3588G2316, who metG4876 AbrahamG11 returningG5290 fromG575 the slaughterG3588G2871 of the kingsG3588G935, andG2532 blessedG2127 himG846; 2To whomG3739 alsoG2532 AbrahamG11 gaveG3307 a tenth partG1181 ofG575 allG3956; firstG4412 being by interpretationG2059 KingG935 of righteousnessG1343, andG1161 after thatG1899 alsoG2532 KingG935 of SalemG4532, whichG3739 isG1510, KingG935 of peaceG1515; 3Without fatherG540, without motherG282, without descentG35, havingG2192 neitherG3383 beginningG746 of daysG2250, norG3383 endG5056 of lifeG2222; butG1161 made likeG871 unto the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316; abidethG3306 a priestG2409 continuallyG1336. 4NowG1161 considerG2334 how greatG4080 this manG3778 was, unto whomG3739 evenG2532 the patriarchG3588G3966 AbrahamG11 gaveG1325 the tenthG1181 ofG1537 the spoilsG3588G205. 5AndG2532 verilyG3303 they that areG2983 ofG1537 the sonsG3588G5207 of LeviG3017, who receiveG2983 the office of the priesthoodG3588G2405, haveG2192 a commandmentG1785 to take tithes ofG586 the peopleG3588G2992 according toG2596 the lawG3588G3551, thatG3778 isG1510, ofG3588G80 theirG846 brethrenG3588G80, thoughG2539 they come outG1831 ofG1537 the loinsG3588G3751 of AbrahamG11: 6ButG1161 he whose descent isG1075 notG3361 countedG1075 fromG1537 themG846 received tithesG1183 of AbrahamG11, andG2532 blessedG2127 him that hadG2192 the promisesG3588G1860. 7AndG1161 withoutG5565 allG3956 contradictionG485 the lessG1640 is blessedG2127 ofG5259 the betterG2909. 8AndG2532 hereG5602 menG444 that dieG599 receiveG2983 tithesG1181; butG1161 thereG1563 heG3140 receiveth them, of whom it is witnessedG3140 thatG3754 he livethG2198. 9AndG2532 asG5613 I may so sayG3004, LeviG3017 alsoG2532, who receivethG2983 tithesG1181, payed tithesG1183 inG1223 AbrahamG11. 10ForG1063 he wasG1510 yetG2089 inG1722 the loinsG3588G3751 of his fatherG3588G3962, whenG3753 MelchisedecG3198 metG4876 himG846.
11IfG1487 thereforeG3303 perfectionG5050 wereG1510 byG1223 the LeviticalG3020 priesthoodG2420, (forG1063 underG1909 itG846 the peopleG3588G2992 received the lawG3549,) whatG5101 furtherG2089 needG5532 was there thatG450 anotherG2087 priestG2409 should riseG450 afterG2596 the orderG3588G5010 of MelchisedecG3198, andG2532 notG3756 be calledG3004 afterG2596 the orderG3588G5010 of AaronG2? 12ForG1063 the priesthoodG3588G2420 being changedG3346, there is madeG1096 ofG1537 necessityG318 a changeG3331 alsoG2532 of the lawG3551. 13ForG1063 heG3348 ofG1909 whomG3739 these thingsG3778 are spokenG3004 pertainethG3348 toG5443 anotherG2087 tribeG5443, ofG575 whichG3739 no manG3762 gave attendanceG4337 at the altarG3588G2379. 14ForG1063 it is evidentG4271 thatG3754 ourG1473 LordG3588G2962 sprangG393 out ofG1537 JudahG2448; ofG1519 whichG3739 tribeG5443 MosesG3475 spakeG2980 nothingG3762 concerningG4012 priesthoodG2420. 15AndG2532 it isG1510 yetG2089 far moreG4053 evidentG2612: for thatG1487 afterG2596 the similitudeG3588G3665 of MelchisedecG3198 there arisethG450 anotherG2087 priestG2409, 16WhoG3739 is madeG1096, notG3756 afterG2596 the lawG3551 of aG1785 carnalG4559 commandmentG1785, butG235 afterG2596 the powerG1411 of anG2222 endlessG179 lifeG2222. 17ForG1063 he testifiethG3140, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG3588G165 afterG2596 the orderG3588G5010 of MelchisedecG3198. 18ForG1063 there isG1096 verilyG3303 a disannullingG115 of the commandmentG1785 going beforeG4254 forG1223 the weaknessG772 andG2532 unprofitablenessG512 thereofG846. 19ForG1063 the lawG3588G3551 madeG5048 nothingG3762 perfectG5048, butG1161 the bringing inG1898 of aG1680 betterG2909 hopeG1680 did; byG1223 the whichG3739 we draw nighG1448 unto GodG3588G2316.
20AndG2532 inasmuch asG2596G3745 notG3756 withoutG5565 an oathG3728 he was made priest: 21(ForG1063 those priestsG2409 wereG1510 madeG1096 withoutG5565 an oathG3728; butG1161 thisG3588 withG3326 an oathG3728 byG1223 him that saidG3004 untoG4314 himG846, The LordG2962 swareG3660 andG2532 willG3338 notG3756 repentG3338, ThouG4771 art a priestG2409 forG1519 everG3588G165 afterG2596 the orderG3588G5010 of MelchisedecG3198:) 22ByG2596 so muchG5118 wasG1096 JesusG2424 madeG1096 a suretyG1450 of aG1242 betterG2909 testamentG1242.
23AndG2532 theyG1510 trulyG3303 wereG1510 manyG4119 priestsG2409, becauseG1223 they were not sufferedG2967 to continueG3887 by reason of deathG2288: 24ButG1161 thisG3588 man, becauseG1223 heG846 continuethG3306 everG3588G165, hathG2192 anG3588G2420 unchangeableG531 priesthoodG3588G2420. 25WhereforeG3606 he is ableG1410 alsoG2532 to saveG4982 themG3838 toG1519 the uttermostG3838 that comeG4334 unto GodG3588G2316 byG1223 himG846, seeing heG2198 everG3842 livethG2198 toG1519 make intercessionG1793 forG5228 themG846.
26ForG1063 suchG5108 an high priestG749 becameG4241 usG1473, who is holyG3741, harmlessG172, undefiledG283, separateG5563 fromG575 sinnersG268, andG2532 madeG1096 higherG5308 than the heavensG3588G3772; 27WhoG3739 needethG318 notG3756 dailyG2250, asG5618 those high priestsG3588G749, to offer upG399 sacrificeG2378, firstG4386 forG5228 his ownG3588G2398 sinsG266, and thenG1899 for the people’sG3588G2992: forG1063 thisG3778 he didG4160 onceG2178, when he offered upG399 himselfG1438. 28ForG1063 the lawG3588G3551 makethG2525 menG444 high priestsG749 which haveG2192 infirmityG769; butG1161 the wordG3588G3056 of the oathG3588G3728, which wasG3588 sinceG3326 the lawG3588G3551, maketh the SonG5207, who is consecratedG5048 forG1519 evermoreG3588G165.
