Hebrews 7:1-16

7:1

For
<1063>

this
<3778>

Melchisedec
<3198>_,

king
<935>

of Salem
<4532>_,

priest
<2409>

of the most high
<5310>

God
<2316>_,

who
<3588>

met
<4876> (5660)

Abraham
<11>

returning
<5290> (5723)

from
<575>

the slaughter
<2871>

of the kings
<935>_,

and
<2532>

blessed
<2127> (5660)

him
<846>_;

7:2

To whom
<3739>

also
<2532>

Abraham
<11>

gave
<3307> (5656)

a tenth part
<1181>

of
<575>

all
<3956>_;

first
<4412> <3303>

being by interpretation
<2059> (5746)

King
<935>

of righteousness
<1343>_,

and
<1161>

after that
<1899>

also
<2532>

King
<935>

of Salem
<4532>_,

which is
<3603> (5748)_,

King
<935>

of peace
<1515>_;

7:3

Without father
<540>_,

without mother
<282>_,

without descent
<35>_,

having
<2192> (5723)

neither
<3383>

beginning
<746>

of days
<2250>_,

nor
<3383>

end
<5056>

of life
<2222>_;

but
<1161>

made like
<871> (5772)

unto the Son
<5207>

of God
<2316>_;

abideth
<3306> (5719)

a priest
<2409>

continually
<1519> <1336>_.

{without descent: Gr. without pedigree}

7:4

Now
<1161>

consider
<2334> (5719) (5720)

how great
<4080>

this man
<3778>

[was], unto whom
<3739>

even
<2532>

the patriarch
<3966>

Abraham
<11>

gave
<1325> (5656)

the tenth
<1181>

of
<1537>

the spoils
<205>_.

7:5

And
<2532>

verily
<3303>

they that are of
<1537>

the sons
<5207>

of Levi
<3017>_,

who
<3588>

receive
<2983> (5723)

the office of the priesthood
<2405>_,

have
<2192> (5719)

a commandment
<1785>

to take tithes
<586> (5721)

of the people
<2992>

according to
<2596>

the law
<3551>_,

that is
<5123> (5748)_,

of their
<846>

brethren
<80>_,

though
<2539>

they come
<1831> (5761)

out of
<1537>

the loins
<3751>

of Abraham
<11>_:

7:6

But
<1161>

he whose descent is
<1075> (0)

not
<3361>

counted
<1075> (5746)

from
<1537>

them
<846>

received tithes
<1183> (5758)

of Abraham
<11>_,

and
<2532>

blessed
<2127> (5758)

him that had
<2192> (5723)

the promises
<1860>_.

{descent: or, pedigree}

7:7

And
<1161>

without
<5565>

all
<3956>

contradiction
<485>

the less
<1640>

is blessed
<2127> (5743)

of
<5259>

the better
<2909>_.

7:8

And
<2532>

here
<5602> <3303>

men
<444>

that die
<599> (5723)

receive
<2983> (5719)

tithes
<1181>_;

but
<1161>

there
<1563>

he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed
<3140> (5746)

that
<3754>

he liveth
<2198> (5719)_.

7:9

And
<2532>

as
<5613>

I may so say
<2031> <2036> (5629)_,

Levi
<3017>

also
<2532>_,

who
<3588>

receiveth
<2983> (5723)

tithes
<1181>_,

payed tithes
<1183> (5769)

in
<1223>

Abraham
<11>_.

7:10

For
<1063>

he was
<2258> (5713)

yet
<2089>

in
<1722>

the loins
<3751>

of his father
<3962>_,

when
<3753>

Melchisedec
<3198>

met
<4876> (5656)

him
<846>_.

7:11

If
<1487> <3303>

therefore
<3767>

perfection
<5050>

were
<2258> (5713)

by
<1223>

the Levitical
<3020>

priesthood
<2420>_,

(for
<1063>

under
<1909>

it
<846>

the people
<2992>

received the law
<3549> (5718),)

what
<5101>

further
<2089>

need
<5532>

[was there] that another
<2087>

priest
<2409>

should rise
<450> (5733)

after
<2596>

the order
<5010>

of Melchisedec
<3198>_,

and
<2532>

not
<3756>

be called
<3004> (5745)

after
<2596>

the order
<5010>

of Aaron
<2>_?

7:12

For
<1063>

the priesthood
<2420>

being changed
<3346> (5746)_,

there is made
<1096> (5736)

of
<1537>

necessity
<318>

a change
<3331>

also
<2532>

of the law
<3551>_.

7:13

For
<1063>

he of
<1909>

whom
<3739>

these things
<5023>

are spoken
<3004> (5743)

pertaineth
<3348> (5758)

to another
<2087>

tribe
<5443>_,

of
<575>

which
<3739>

no man
<3762>

gave attendance
<4337> (5758)

at the altar
<2379>_.

7:14

For
<1063>

[it is] evident
<4271>

that
<3754>

our
<2257>

Lord
<2962>

sprang
<393> (5758)

out of
<1537>

Juda
<2455>_;

of
<1519>

which
<3739>

tribe
<5443>

Moses
<3475>

spake
<2980> (5656)

nothing
<3762>

concerning
<4012>

priesthood
<2420>_.

7:15

And
<2532>

it is
<2076> (5748)

yet
<2089>

far more
<4054>

evident
<2612>_:

for
<1487>

that after
<2596>

the similitude
<3665>

of Melchisedec
<3198>

there ariseth
<450> (5731)

another
<2087>

priest
<2409>_,

7:16

Who
<3739>

is made
<1096> (5754)_,

not
<3756>

after
<2596>

the law
<3551>

of a carnal
<4559>

commandment
<1785>_,

but
<235>

after
<2596>

the power
<1411>

of an endless
<179>

life
<2222>_.
