RF HEB 7:1 For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, a High Priest of the Highest God, who met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings, and blessed him—
RF HEB 7:2 to whom the patriarch Abraham set apart a tenth of all—whose name interpreted is, first, King of Righteousness, and then, King of Salem, which is King of Peace;
RF HEB 7:3 unfathered, unmothered, unpedigreed, without recorded beginning of days or end of life; but, like the Son of God, remains a Priest uninterruptedly.
RF HEB 7:4 But see how great he was, to whom Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth of the best spoils!
RF HEB 7:5 And, indeed, these who receive the priesthood from the sons of Levi have a command by the law to tithe the people—that is, their brothers—although they are direct issue of Abraham.
RF HEB 7:6 But he who was not pedigreed from them tithed Abraham, and blessed him who had the promises!
RF HEB 7:7 But, without any contradiction, the lesser is blessed by the greater.
RF HEB 7:8 And here indeed mortal men take tithes; but there, it is witnessed that he lives.
RF HEB 7:9 And, as one may say, Levi, the receiver of tithes, was tithed through Abraham;
RF HEB 7:10 for he was as yet in the loins of his father when Melchisedec met him.
RF HEB 7:11 If, therefore, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, under which the people were legislated for, then why need another Priest be appointed, of the order of Melchisedec, and not nominated from the order of Aaron?
RF HEB 7:12 For when the priesthood is being changed, of necessity comes a change of ritual.
RF HEB 7:13 But He of Whom this was said partook of another tribe, from which none approached the altar;
RF HEB 7:14 for it is clear that our Lord arose from the tribe of Judah, regarding which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priests.
RF HEB 7:15 And it is now very clear if another High Priest is appointed similar to Melchisedec,
RF HEB 7:16 He comes not according to a law of physical order, but by power of an unfailing life;
RF HEB 7:17 for it is witnessed: That You ARE AN ETERNAL PRIEST, ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHI-SEDEK. 1
RF HEB 7:18 But certainly when a change is made from a preceding order, it is through its weakness and uselessness
RF HEB 7:19 for the law perfected nothing, but introduced a better hope, by which we are brought near to God.
RF HEB 7:20 And therefore this was not done without an oath,
RF HEB 7:21 although they indeed became priests without an oath; but He with an oath by Him Who said to Him: THE LORD SWORE AND WILL NOT ALTER, You ARE AN ETERNAL PRIEST.
RF HEB 7:22 By which a very much better settlement came, secured by Jesus.
RF HEB 7:23 And, indeed, they were many who became priests, because they were prevented permanently remaining through death.
RF HEB 7:24 But He, by continuing for ever, holds the continuous Priesthood;
RF HEB 7:25 and so is able to perfectly save those coming to God through Him, always living to rectify on their behalf.
RF HEB 7:26 For such a High Priest—Who is holy, good, pure, free from sins, and Who has become higher than the heavens—befits us;
RF HEB 7:27 Who has no need every day, as those high priests, to first offer a sacrifice for His own sins, then for those of the people—for He did this once for all, offering Himself.
RF HEB 7:28 For the law appointed men high priests who were weak; but the word of the oath, surpassing the law, a perfected Son for ever.
