Hebrews 7:1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Melchizedek was the king of Salem and a priest for God the Most High. He met Abraham when Abraham was coming back after defeating the kings. That day Melchizedek blessed him.
2 Then Abraham gave him a tenth of everything he had. The name Melchizedek, king of Salem, has two meanings. First, Melchizedek means "king of justice." And "king of Salem" means "king of peace."
3 No one knows who his father or mother was or where he came from. And no one knows when he was born or when he died. Melchizedek is like the Son of God in that he will always be a priest.
4 You can see that Melchizedek was very great. Abraham, our great ancestor, gave him a tenth of everything he won in battle.
5 Now the law says that those from the tribe of Levi who become priests must get a tenth from their own people, even though they and their people are both from the family of Abraham.
6 Melchizedek was not even from the tribe of Levi, but Abraham gave him a tenth of what he had. And Melchizedek blessed Abraham�the one who had God's promises.
7 And everyone knows that the more important person always blesses the less important person.
8 Those priests get a tenth, but they are only men who live and then die. But Melchizedek, who got a tenth from Abraham, continues to live, as the Scriptures say.
9 Now those from the family of Levi are the ones who get a tenth from the people. But we can say that when Abraham paid Melchizedek a tenth, then Levi also paid it.
10 Levi was not yet born, but he already existed in his ancestor Abraham when Melchizedek met him.
11 The people were given the law under the system of priests from the tribe of Levi. But no one could be made spiritually perfect through that system of priests. So there was a need for another priest to come. I mean a priest like Melchizedek, not Aaron.
12 And when a different kind of priest comes, then the law must be changed too.
13 We are talking about our Lord Christ, who belonged to a different tribe. No one from that tribe ever served as a priest at the altar. It is clear that Christ came from the tribe of Judah. And Moses said nothing about priests belonging to that tribe.
14 vnumber="14">
15 And these things become even clearer when we see that another priest has come who is like Melchizedek.
16 He was made a priest, but not because he met the requirement of being born into the right family. He became a priest by the power of a life that will never end.
17 This is what the Scriptures say about him: "You are a priest forever�the kind of priest Melchizedek was."
18 The old rule is now ended because it was weak and worthless.
19 The Law of Moses could not make anything perfect. But now a better hope has been given to us. And with that hope we can come near to God.
20 Also, it is important that God made a promise with an oath when he made Jesus high priest. When those other men became priests, there was no oath.
21 But Christ became a priest with God's oath. God said to him, "The Lord has made a promise with an oath and will not change his mind: 'You are a priest forever.'"
22 So this means that Jesus is the guarantee of a better agreement from God to his people.
23 Also, when one of those other priests died, he could not continue being a priest. So there were many of those priests.
24 But Jesus lives forever. He will never stop serving as a priest.
25 So Christ can save those who come to God through him. Christ can do this forever, because he always lives and is ready to help people when they come before God.
26 So Jesus is the kind of high priest we need. He is holy. He has no sin in him. He is pure and not influenced by sinners. And he is raised above the heavens.
27 He is not like those other priests. They had to offer sacrifices every day, first for their own sins, and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus doesn't need to do that. He offered only one sacrifice for all time. He offered himself.
28 The law chooses high priests who are men and have the same weaknesses that all people have. But after the law, God spoke the oath that made his Son high priest. And that Son, made perfect through suffering, will serve forever.
1 For G1063 this G3778 Melchizedek, G3198 king G935 of Salem, G4532 priest G2409 of the G3588 most high G5310 God, G2316 who met G4876 Abraham G11 returning G5290 from G575 the G3588 slaughter G2871 of the G3588 kings, G935 and G2532 blessed G2127 him; G846
2 To whom G3739 also G2532 Abraham G11 gave G3307 a tenth part G1181 of G575 all; G3956 first G4412 G3303 being by interpretation G2059 King G935 of righteousness, G1343 and G1161 after that G1899 also G2532 King G935 of Salem, G4532 which is, G3603 King G935 of peace; G1515
3 Without father, G540 without mother, G282 without descent, G35 having G2192 neither G3383 beginning G746 of days, G2250 nor G3383 end G5056 of life; G2222 but G1161 made like unto G871 the G3588 Son G5207 of God; G2316 abideth G3306 a priest G2409 continually G1519 G1336 .
4 Now G1161 consider G2334 how great G4080 this man G3778 was, unto whom G3739 even G2532 the G3588 patriarch G3966 Abraham G11 gave G1325 the tenth G1181 of G1537 the G3588 spoils. G205
5 And G2532 verily G3303 they G3588 that are of G1537 the G3588 sons G5207 of Levi, G3017 who receive G2983 the G3588 office of the priesthood, G2405 have G2192 a commandment G1785 to take tithes G586 of the G3588 people G2992 according G2596 to the G3588 law, G3551 that is, G5123 of their G848 brethren, G80 though G2539 they come G1831 out of G1537 the G3588 loins G3751 of Abraham: G11
6 But G1161 he whose descent is not counted G1075 G3361 from G1537 them G846 received tithes G1183 of Abraham, G11 and G2532 blessed G2127 him that had G2192 the G3588 promises. G1860
7 And G1161 without G5565 all G3956 contradiction G485 the G3588 less G1640 is blessed G2127 of G5259 the G3588 better. G2909
8 And G2532 here G5602 G3303 men G444 that die G599 receive G2983 tithes; G1181 but G1161 there G1563 he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed G3140 that G3754 he liveth. G2198
9 And G2532 as I may so say G5613 G2031, G2036 Levi G3017 also, G2532 who receiveth G2983 tithes, G1181 paid tithes G1183 in G1223 Abraham. G11
10 For G1063 he was G2258 yet G2089 in G1722 the G3588 loins G3751 of his father, G3962 when G3753 Melchizedek G3198 met G4876 him. G846
11 If G1487 G3303 therefore G3767 perfection G5050 were G2258 by G1223 the G3588 Levitical G3020 priesthood, G2420 ( for G1063 under G1909 it G846 the G3588 people G2992 received the law, G3549 ) what G5101 further G2089 need G5532 was there that another G2087 priest G2409 should rise G450 after G2596 the G3588 order G5010 of Melchizedek, G3198 and G2532 not G3756 be called G3004 after G2596 the G3588 order G5010 of Aaron G2 ?
12 For G1063 the G3588 priesthood G2420 being changed, G3346 there is made G1096 of G1537 necessity G318 a change G3331 also G2532 of the law. G3551
13 For G1063 he of G1909 whom G3739 these things G5023 are spoken G3004 pertaineth G3348 to another G2087 tribe, G5443 of G575 which G3739 no man G3762 gave attendance G4337 at the G3588 altar. G2379
14 For G1063 it is evident G4271 that G3754 our G2257 Lord G2962 sprang G393 out of G1537 Judah; G2455 of G1519 which G3739 tribe G5443 Moses G3475 spake G2980 nothing G3762 concerning G4012 priesthood. G2420
15 And G2532 it is G2076 yet G2089 far more G4054 evident: G2612 for that G1487 after G2596 the G3588 similitude G3665 of Melchizedek G3198 there ariseth G450 another G2087 priest, G2409
16 Who G3739 is made, G1096 not G3756 after G2596 the law G3551 of a carnal G4559 commandment, G1785 but G235 after G2596 the power G1411 of an endless G179 life. G2222
17 For G1063 he testifieth, G3140 Thou G4771 art a priest G2409 forever G1519 G165 after G2596 the G3588 order G5010 of Melchizedek. G3198
18 For G1063 there is G1096 verily G3303 a disannulling G115 of the commandment G1785 going before G4254 for G1223 the G3588 weakness G772 and G2532 unprofitableness G512 thereof. G846
19 For G1063 the G3588 law G3551 made nothing perfect G5048 G3762 , but G1161 the bringing in G1898 of a better G2909 hope G1680 did; by G1223 the which G3739 we draw nigh G1448 unto God. G2316
20 And G2532 inasmuch as G2596 G3745 not G3756 without G5565 an oath G3728 he was made priest :
21 ( For G1063 those priests G2409 G3303 were G1526 made G1096 without G5565 an oath; G3728 but G1161 this G3588 with G3326 an oath G3728 by G1223 him that said G3004 unto G4314 him, G846 The Lord G2962 swore G3660 and G2532 will not G3756 repent, G3338 Thou G4771 art a priest G2409 forever G1519 G165 after G2596 the G3588 order G5010 of Melchizedek: G3198 )
22 By G2596 so much G5118 was Jesus G2424 made G1096 a surety G1450 of a better G2909 testament. G1242
23 And G2532 they G3588 truly G3303 were G1526 many G4119 priests, G2409 because they were not suffered G2967 to continue G3887 by reason of death: G2288
24 But G1161 this G3588 man, because he G846 continueth G3306 ever G1519 G165 , hath G2192 an unchangeable G531 priesthood. G2420
25 Wherefore G3606 he is able G1410 also G2532 to save G4982 them to G1519 the G3588 uttermost G3838 that come G4334 unto God G2316 by G1223 him, G846 seeing he ever G3842 liveth G2198 to make intercession G1793 for G5228 them. G846
26 For G1063 such G5108 a high priest G749 became G4241 us, G2254 who is holy, G3741 harmless, G172 undefiled, G283 separate G5563 from G575 sinners, G268 and G2532 made G1096 higher G5308 than the G3588 heavens; G3772
27 Who G3739 needeth G2192 G318 not G3756 daily G2596 G2250 , as G5618 those high priests, G749 to offer up G399 sacrifice, G2378 first G4386 for G5228 his own G2398 sins, G266 and then G1899 for G3588 the G3588 people's G2992: for G1063 this G5124 he did G4160 once, G2178 when he offered up G399 himself. G1438
28 For G1063 the G3588 law G3551 maketh G2525 men G444 high priests G749 which have G2192 infirmity; G769 but G1161 the G3588 word G3056 of the G3588 oath, G3728 which G3588 was since G3326 the G3588 law, G3551 maketh the Son, G5207 who is consecrated G5048 forevermore G1519 G165 .
