    1For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the defeat of the kings, and blessed him;

    2To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being 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 the Son of God; remains a priest continually.

    4Now consider how great this man was, to whom even the patriarch Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils.

    5And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, though they come from the loins of Abraham:

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

    7And without all contradiction the lesser is blessed by the greater.

    8And here mortal men receive tithes; but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

    9And, as I may say, Levi also, who receives tithes, paid tithes through Abraham.

    11If therefore perfection were through the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

    12For the priesthood being changed, there is of necessity a change also of the law.

    13For he of whom these things are spoken belongs to another tribe, of which no man attended the altar.

    14For it is evident that our Lord arose from Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning priesthood.

    15And it is yet far more evident: for in the likeness of Melchizedek there arises another priest,

    16Who is made, not after the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.

    17For he testifies, You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.

    10How was it then credited? When he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
