7:1
hic enim Melchisedech rex Salem sacerdos Dei summi quiobviavit Abrahae regresso a caede regum et benedixit ei

7:2
cui decimas omnium divisit Abraham primum quidem quiinterpretatur rex iustitiae deinde autem et rex Salem quod estrex pacis

7:3
sine patre sine matre sine genealogia neque initium dierumneque finem vitae habens adsimilatus autem Filio Dei manetsacerdos in perpetuum

7:4
intuemini autem quantus sit hic cui et decimam dedit depraecipuis Abraham patriarcha

7:5
et quidem de filiis Levi sacerdotium accipientes mandatumhabent decimas sumere a populo secundum legem id est afratribus suis quamquam et ipsi exierunt de lumbis Abrahae

7:6
cuius autem generatio non adnumeratur in eis decimas sumpsitAbraham et hunc qui habebat repromissiones benedixit

7:7
sine ulla autem contradictione quod minus est a meliorebenedicitur

7:8
et hic quidem decimas morientes homines accipiunt ibi autemcontestatus quia vivit

7:9
et ut ita dictum sit per Abraham et Levi qui decimas accipitdecimatus est

7:10
adhuc enim in lumbis patris erat quando obviavit eiMelchisedech

7:11
si ergo consummatio per sacerdotium leviticum erat populusenim sub ipso legem accepit quid adhuc necessarium secundumordinem Melchisedech alium surgere sacerdotem et non secundumordinem Aaron dici

7:12
translato enim sacerdotio necesse est ut et legistranslatio fiat

7:13
in quo enim haec dicuntur de alia tribu est de qua nullusaltario praesto fuit

7:14
manifestum enim quod ex Iuda ortus sit Dominus noster inqua tribu nihil de sacerdotibus Moses locutus est

7:15
et amplius adhuc manifestum est si secundum similitudinemMelchisedech exsurgit alius sacerdos

7:16
qui non secundum legem mandati carnalis factus est sedsecundum virtutem vitae insolubilis

7:17
contestatur enim quoniam tu es sacerdos in aeternumsecundum ordinem Melchisedech

7:18
reprobatio quidem fit praecedentis mandati propterinfirmitatem eius et inutilitatem

7:19
nihil enim ad perfectum adduxit lex introductio veromelioris spei per quam proximamus ad Deum

7:20
et quantum est non sine iureiurando alii quidem sineiureiurando sacerdotes facti sunt

7:21
hic autem cum iureiurando per eum qui dixit ad illumiuravit Dominus et non paenitebit tu es sacerdos in aeternum

7:22
in tantum melioris testamenti sponsor factus est Iesus

7:23
et alii quidem plures facti sunt sacerdotes idcirco quodmorte prohiberentur permanere

7:24
hic autem eo quod maneat in aeternum sempiternum habetsacerdotium

7:25

008:001
Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

008:002
A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

008:003
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

008:004
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

008:005
Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.

008:006
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

008:007
For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

008:008
For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

008:009
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

008:010
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

008:011
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

008:012
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

008:013
In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away.
