Without father, without mother, without descent, hauing neither beginning of dayes nor end of life: but made like vnto the Sonne of God, abideth a Priest continually.

But he whose descent is not counted from them, receiued tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

And here men that die receiue tithes: but there hee receiueth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liueth.

Who is made not after the Law of a carnall commandement, but after the power of an endles life.

For the Law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did: by the which wee draw nigh vnto God.

(For those Priests were made without an oath: but this with an oath, by him that said vnto him, The Lord sware and wil not repent, thou art a Priest for euer after the order of Melchisedec)

But this man because hee continueth euer, hath an vnchangeable Priesthood.

For the Law maketh men high Priests which haue infirmitie, but the word of the othe which was since the Law, maketh the Sonne, who is consecrated for euermore.

But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministerie, by how much also he is the Mediatour of a better Couenant, which was established vpon better promises.

But into the second went the high Priest alone once euery yeere, not without blood, which he offered for himselfe, and for the errors of the people.

But Christ being come an high Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect Tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building:

Neither by the blood of Goats and Calues: but by his owne blood hee entred in once into the Holy place, hauing obtained eternall redemption for vs.

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heauens should bee purified with these, but the heauenly things themselues with better sacrifices then these.

For Christ is not entred into the Holy places made with handes, which are the figures of the true, but into heauen it selfe, now to appeare in the presence of God for vs.

For then must hee often haue suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world, hath he appeared to put away sinne by the sacrifice of himselfe.

And as it is appointed vnto men once to die, but after this the Iudgement:

But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance againe made of sinnes euery yeere.

Wherefore when hee commeth into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared mee:

But this man after he had offered one sacrifice for sinnes for euer, sate downe on the right hand of God,

Not forsaking the assembling of our selues together, as the manner of some is: but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the day approching.
