Hebrews 7 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Now ^G1161 observe ^G2334 how ^G4080 great ^G4080 this ^G3778 man ^G3778 was TO WHOM ^G3739 ABRAHAM ^G11, the patriarch ^G3966, GAVE ^G1325 A TENTH ^G1181 of the spoils ^G205.

Now ^G3767 if ^G1487 perfection ^G5050 was through ^G1223 the Levitical ^G3020 priesthood ^G2420 (for on the basis ^G1909 of it the people ^G2992 received ^G3549 the ^G3549 Law ^G3549), what ^G5101 further ^G2089 need ^G5532 was there for another ^G2087 priest ^G2409 to arise ^G450 according ^G2596 to the order ^G5010 of Melchizedek ^G3198, and not be designated ^G3004 according ^G2596 to the order ^G5010 of Aaron ^G2?

“YOU ARE A PRIEST ^G2409 FOREVER ^G165

ACCORDING ^G2596 TO THE ORDER ^G5010 OF MELCHIZEDEK ^G3198.”

For, on the one ^G3303 hand ^G3303, there is a setting ^G115 aside ^G115 of a former ^G4254 commandment ^G1785 because ^G1223 of its weakness ^G772 and uselessness ^G512

“THE [fn]LORD ^G2962 HAS SWORN ^G3660

AND WILL NOT CHANGE ^G3338 HIS MIND ^G3338,

‘YOU ARE A PRIEST ^G2409 FOREVER ^G165’”);

so ^G5118 much ^G5118 more ^G2596 Jesus ^G2424 also ^G2532 has become ^G1096 the guarantee ^G1450 of a better ^G2909 covenant ^G1242.

And [fn]the former priests ^G2409, on the one ^G3303 hand ^G3303, existed ^G1510 G1096 in greater ^G4183 numbers ^G4183 because ^G1223 they were prevented ^G2967 by death ^G2288 from continuing ^G3887,

For it was fitting ^G4241 for us to have such ^G5108 a ^G5108 high ^G749 priest ^G749, holy ^G3741, innocent ^G172, undefiled ^G283, separated ^G5563 from sinners ^G268 and exalted ^G5308 above the heavens ^G3772;
