Hebrews 7:8

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And here truly dying men receive tenths; but there he, bearing witness that he lives.

See the chapter Copy

Where the forerunner, Jesus, went in for us, according to the order of Melchisedec, being a high priest forever.

And also in another he says, Thou a priest forever according to the order of Melchisedec.

And he living, and I was dead; and, behold, I am living for the times of times, Amen; and have the keys of hades and of death.

And they truly are become many priests, by reason of death being hindered from remaining:

Yet a little, and the world sees me no more; and ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.

For some, having heard, did exasperate: but not all they having come out of Egypt by Moses.

Jesus says to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, except by me.

And inasmuch as it is reserved to men once to die, and after this the judgment:

And without all controversy the less is praised of the better.

And as the word says, through Abraham, also Levi, receiving tenths, has paid a tenth.
