Hebrews 7:1
For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
Hebrews 7:2
to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”,
Hebrews 7:3
without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually.
Hebrews 7:4
Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham the patriarch gave a tenth out of the best plunder.
Hebrews 7:5
They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham,
Hebrews 7:6
but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.
Hebrews 7:7
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
Hebrews 7:10
for he was yet in the body of his father when Melchizedek met him.

Hebrews 7:11
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
Hebrews 7:16
who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life;
Hebrews 7:23
Many, indeed, have been made priests, because they are hindered from continuing by death.
Hebrews 7:24
But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.
Hebrews 7:25
Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.
