    2to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, King of righteousness, and then also King of Salem, which is King of peace;

    3without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God), abideth a priest continually.

    4Now consider how great this man was, unto whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the chief spoils.

    5And they indeed of the sons of Levi that receive the priest's office have commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though these have come out of the loins of Abraham:

    6but he whose genealogy is not counted from them hath taken tithes of Abraham, and hath blessed him that hath the promises.

    7But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better.

    8And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

    9And, so to say, through Abraham even Levi, who receiveth tithes, hath paid tithes;

    10for he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchizedek met him.

    11Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood (for under it hath the people received the law), what further need [was there] that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

    13For he of whom these things are said belongeth to another tribe, from which no man hath given attendance at the altar.

    15And [what we say] is yet more abundantly evident, if after the likeness of Melchizedek there ariseth another priest,

    16who hath been made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life:
