Hebrews 7–13

(3) Without 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.

(3) For this Melchisedec was ordained a priest after the order of the Son of God, which order was without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life. And all those who are ordained unto this priesthood are made like unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually.

(19) For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

(19) For the Law was administered without an oath, and made nothing perfect, but was only the bringing in of a better hope did by the which we draw nigh unto God.

(20) And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:

(20) Inasmuch as this high priest was not without an oath,

(21–22) (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

(21–22) By so much was Jesus madethesurety of a better testament. (For those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said unto him, The Lord sware and will not repent, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec:)

(26) For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

(26) For such a high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made ruler over the heavens,

(27) Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

(27) And not as those high priests who offered up sacrifice daily—first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people. For he needeth not offer sacrifice for his own sins, for he knew no sins, but for the sins of the people. And this he did once, when he offered up himself.

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

(4) Therefore, while he was on the earth, he offered for a sacrifice his own life for the sins of the people. Now every priest under the Law must needs offer gifts or sacrifices according to the Law.

(8) The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

(8) The Holy Ghost signifying this, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as yet the first tabernacle was standing,

(10) Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

(10) Which consisted only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

(15) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

(15) And for this cause he is the mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

(16) For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

(16) For where a covenant is, there must also of necessity be the death of the victim.

(17) For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

(17) For a covenant is of force after the victim is dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the victim liveth.

(18) Whereupon neither the first testament was dedicated without blood.

(18) Whereupon neither the first covenant was dedicated without blood.

(20) Saying, This is the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

(20) Saying, This is the blood of the covenant which God hath enjoined unto you.

(26) For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

(26) For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the meridian of time hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

(28) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

(28) So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many, and he shall appear the second time without sin unto salvation unto them that look for him.

(1) For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.

(10) By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

(13) From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

(13) From henceforth to reign until his enemies be made his footstool.

(21) And having an high priest over the house of God;

(32) And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

(32) And what shall I say more? For the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

(35) Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:

(39) And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:

(39) And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promises,

(40) God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

(40) God having provided some better things for them through their sufferings. For without sufferings they could not be made perfect.

(3) Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.

(3) Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also of the body.

(5) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
