Hebrews 7 9 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
και ως επος ειπειν δια αβρααμ και λευι ο δεκατας λαμβανων δεδεκατωται
10 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
ετι γαρ εν τη οσφυι του πατρος ην οτε συνηντησεν αυτω ο μελχισεδεκ
11 If therefore perfection were 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?
ει μεν ουν τελειωσις δια της λευιτικης ιερωσυνης ην ο λαος γαρ επ αυτη νενομοθετητο τις ετι χρεια κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ ετερον ανιστασθαι ιερεα και ου κατα την ταξιν ααρων λεγεσθαι
12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
μετατιθεμενης γαρ της ιερωσυνης εξ αναγκης και νομου μεταθεσις γινεται
13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
εφ ον γαρ λεγεται ταυτα φυλης ετερας μετεσχηκεν αφ ης ουδεις προσεσχηκεν τω θυσιαστηριω
14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.
προδηλον γαρ οτι εξ ιουδα ανατεταλκεν ο κυριος ημων εις ην φυλην ουδεν περι ιερωσυνης μωσης ελαλησεν
15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,
και περισσοτερον ετι καταδηλον εστιν ει κατα την ομοιοτητα μελχισεδεκ ανισταται ιερευς ετερος
16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
ος ου κατα νομον εντολης σαρκικης γεγονεν αλλα κατα δυναμιν ζωης ακαταλυτου
17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
μαρτυρει γαρ οτι συ ιερευς εις τον αιωνα κατα την ταξιν μελχισεδεκ
18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
αθετησις μεν γαρ γινεται προαγουσης εντολης δια το αυτης ασθενες και ανωφελες
