Hebrews 7:8

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

See the chapter Copy

whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec.

I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

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

For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
