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.

but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises.

But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.

Here men who die receive tithes, but there one, of whom it is testified that he lives.

who has been made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but after the power of an endless life:

for they indeed have been made priests without an oath; but he with an oath by him that says of him, "The Lord swore and will not change his mind, 'You are a priest forever, According to the order of Melchizedek'".

But he, because he lives forever, has his priesthood unchangeable.

For the law appoints men high priests, having infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was after the law, appoints a Son, perfected forevermore.

But now he has obtained a more excellent ministry, by so much as he is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

In that he says, "A new covenant," he has made the first old. But that which is becoming old and grows aged is near to vanishing away.

but into the second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of the people.

But Christ having come as a high priest of the coming good things, through the greater and more perfect tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation,

nor yet through the blood of goats and calves, but through his own blood, entered in once for all into the Holy Place, having obtained eternal redemption.

It was necessary therefore that the copies of the things in the heavens should be cleansed with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

For Christ entered not into a holy place made with hands, similar in pattern to the true, but into heaven itself, now to appear before the face of God for us;

or else he must have suffered often since the foundation of the world. But now once at the end of the ages, he has been revealed to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

But in those sacrifices there is a memory made of sins year by year.

Therefore when he comes into the world, he says, "Sacrifice and offering you didn't desire, But a body did you prepare for me;

but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.
