ABP - Hebrews - 7

7:1  For this Melchisedek, king of Salem, priest of God the highest, the one having met with Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and having blessed him,

7:2  to whom also [3a tenth 4of 5all 2portioned 1Abraham], first indeed being translated king of righteousness, and thereupon also king of Salem, which is king of peace;

7:3  fatherless, motherless, of unknown genealogy, neither beginning of days, nor [3of life 2an end 1having], and taking an exact image to the son of God, abides a priest for perpetuity.

7:4  And view how great this one was, to whom [5even 6a tenth 1Abraham 4gave 7of 8the 9choice parts 2the 3patriarch].

7:5  And indeed the ones of the sons of Levi, [2the 3priesthood 1receiving], [2a commandment 1have] to tithe the people according to the law, that is to say, the ones of their brethren, though they are ones having come forth from out of the loin of Abraham.

7:6  But the one not tracing descent from them received a tenth from Abraham, and [2the one 3having 4the 5promises 1has blessed].

7:7  But separate from all dispute, the lesser [2by 3the 4better 1is blessed].

7:8  And here indeed [4tenths 2die 1men 3who receive], but there receives one witnessed of that he lives.

7:9  And, as literally to speak, through Abraham even Levi the one [2tenths 1receiving] pays a tenth.

7:10  [3still 1For 4in 5the 6loin 7of the 8father 2he was] when [2met with 3him 1Melchisedek].

7:11  If indeed then perfection [2through 3the 4Levitical 5priesthood 1were] ([2the 3people 1for 5upon 6it 4established law],) what still need was there [4according to 5the 6order 7of Melchisedek 1for another 3to arise 2priest], and not [2according to 3the 4order 5of Aaron 1to be named]?

7:12  [4being transposed 1For 2the 3priesthood], from necessity also [2of law 1a transposition] takes place.

7:13  For of whom are said these things, [3tribe 2of another 1partakes], from which no one has given attention to the altar.

7:14  For it is exposed to view that [3from out of 4Judah 2has risen 1our Lord], for which tribe [3nothing 4concerning 5priesthood 1Moses 2spoke].

7:15  And more extra still it is quite evident, since according to the likeness of Melchisedek [3arises 2priest 1another],

7:16  who not according to the law [2commandment 1of fleshly] exists, but according to the power [2life 1of an indissoluble].

7:17  For he testifies, that, You are a priest into the eon according to the order of Melchisedek.

7:18  [3an annulment 2indeed 1For 6takes place 5before 4of the commandment] because of its weak and unprofitable state;

7:19  [5nothing 1for 4perfected 2the 3law], but there is the further introduction of a better hope through which we approach to God.

7:20  And according to as much as not separate from the swearing of an oath

7:21  (for indeed the ones separate from swearing of an oath are [2priests 1become], but the one with swearing of an oath through the saying as to him, The Lord swore by an oath, and will not repent; you are a priest into the eon according to the order of Melchisedek,)

7:22  by so much of a better covenant [2has become 3surety 1Jesus].

7:23  And indeed, there are more [2being 1priests], on account of death restrained from remaining;

7:24  but he, because of his abiding into the eon, [3inviolable 1has 2the] priesthood.

7:25  From where [2even 3to deliver 4totally 1he is able] the ones coming forward through him to God, at all times living to intercede for them.

7:26  For such [3us 2becomes 1a chief priest] -- sacred, guileless, undefiled, being separated from sinners, and [2higher 3than the 4heavens 1becoming];

7:27  who has not had a daily necessity, as the chief priests, prior [3for 4their own 5sins 2sacrifices 1to offer], and thereupon for the sins of the people; for this he did once for all, [2himself 1having offered].

7:28  [2the 3law 1For 5men 4ordains] chief priests, ones having weakness; [2the 3word 1but] of the swearing of an oath which is after the law [2a son 3into 4the 5eon 1has perfected].
