    24But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

    25Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

    6But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

    7And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

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

    9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

    10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

    2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

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