Revised Young's Literal Translation
New Testament
| 7:1 | For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who did meet Abraham turning back from the smiting of the kings, and did bless him, |
| 7:2 | to whom also a tenth of all did Abraham divide, (first, indeed, being interpreted, 'King of righteousness,' and then also, King of Salem, which is, King of Peace,) |
| 7:3 | without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, and being made like to the Son of God, does remain a priest continually. |
| 7:4 | And see how great this one is, to whom also a tenth Abraham the patriarch did give out of the best of the spoils, |
| 7:5 | and those, indeed, out of the sons of Levi receiving the priesthood, a command have to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, their brethren, even though they came forth out of the loins of Abraham; |
| 7:6 | and he who was not reckoned by genealogy of them, received tithes from Abraham, and him having the promises he has blessed, |
| 7:7 | and apart from all controversy, the less by the better is blessed -- |
| 7:8 | and here, indeed, men who die do receive tithes, and there he, who is testified to that he was living, |
| 7:9 | and so to speak, through Abraham even Levi who is receiving tithes, has paid tithes, |
| 7:10 | for he was yet in the loins of the father when Melchisedek met him. |
| 7:11 | If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron? |
| 7:12 | for the priesthood being changed, of necessity also, of the law a change does come, |
| 7:13 | for he of whom these things are said in another tribe has had part, of whom no one gave attendance at the altar, |
| 7:14 | for it is evident that out of Judah has arisen our Lord, in regard to which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. |
| 7:15 | And it is yet more abundantly most evident, if according to the similitude of Melchisedek there does arise another priest, |
| 7:16 | who came not according to the law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an endless life, |
| 7:17 | for He does testify -- 'You are a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;' |
| 7:18 | for a disannulling indeed does come of the command going before because of its weakness, and unprofitableness, |
| 7:19 | (for nothing did the law perfect) and the bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God. |
| 7:20 | And inasmuch as it is not apart from oath, (for those indeed apart from oath are become priests, |
| 7:21 | and he with an oath through Him who is saying unto him, 'The Lord sware, and will not repent, You are a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;') |
| 7:22 | by so much of a better covenant has Jesus become surety, |
| 7:23 | and those indeed are many who have become priests, because by death they are hindered from remaining; |
| 7:24 | and he, because of his remaining -- to the age, has the priesthood not transient, |
| 7:25 | whence also he is able to save to the very end, those coming through him unto God -- ever living to make intercession for them. |
| 7:26 | For such a chief priest did become us -- kind, harmless, undefiled, separate from the sinners, and become higher than the heavens, |
| 7:27 | who has no necessity daily, as the chief priests, first for his own sins to offer up sacrifice, then for those of the people; for this he did once, having offered up himself; |
| 7:28 | for the law does appoint men chief priests, having infirmity, but the word of the oath that is after the law appoints the Son -- to the age having been perfected. |
