Hebrews 7:8-17

[8] And  here  men  that die  receive  tithes;  but  there  he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed  that  he liveth.  [9] And  as  I may so say,  Levi  also,  who  receiveth  tithes,  payed tithes  in  Abraham.  [10] For  yet  in  the loins  of his father,  when  Melchisedec  met  him.  [11] If  therefore  perfection  by  the Levitical  priesthood,  (for  under  it  the people  received the law,)  what  further  need  was there that another  priest  should rise  after  the order  of Melchisedec,  and  not  be called  after  the order  of Aaron?  [12] For  the priesthood  being changed,  there is made  of  necessity  a change  also  of the law.  [13] For  he of  whom  are spoken  pertaineth  to another  tribe,  of  which  no man  gave attendance  at the altar.  [14] For  it is evident  that  Lord  sprang  out of  of  which  tribe  Moses  spake  nothing  concerning  [15] And  yet  evident:  for  that after  the similitude  of Melchisedec  there ariseth  another  priest,  [16] Who  is made,  not  after  the law  commandment,  but  after  the power  of an endless  life.  [17] For  he testifieth,  Thou  art a priest  for  ever  after  the order  of Melchisedec.
