but he not counting his genealogy from them has tithed Abraham, and has blessed the one having the promises.

But without contradiction, the lesser is blessed by the better.

And here dying men indeed receive tithes, but there it having been witnessed that he lives;

who has not become so according to a law of a fleshly command, but according to the power of an indissoluble life.

For the Law perfected nothing, but a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

for they truly becoming priests are without oath-taking, but He with oath-taking, through the One saying to Him, The Lord swore, and will not care to change, "You are a priest to the age according to the order of Melchizedek;" Psalm 110:4

but He has the priesthood not to be passed on, because of His remaining to the age.

For the Law makes men high priests who have infirmity, but the word of the oath-taking after the Law appoints the Son to the age, having been perfected.

nor through the blood of goats and of calves, but through His own blood, He entered once for all into the Holy of Holies, having procured everlasting redemption.

Then it was needful for the figures of the things in the heavens to be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves by better sacrifices than these.

For Christ did not enter into the Holy of Holies made by hands, types of the true things, but into Heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf,

since He must often have suffered from the foundation of the world. But now once for all, at the completion of the ages, He has been manifested for putting away of sin through the sacrifice of Himself.

But in these there is a remembrance of sins year by year,

For this reason, coming into the world, He says, "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but You prepared a body for Me.
