As he saith also in another [place], Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (5:6)

Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec. (5:10)

Whither the forerunner is for us entered, [even] Jesus, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (6:20)

For this Melchisedec, king of Salem, priest of the most high God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him; (7:1)

To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace; (7:2)

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. (7:3)

Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils. (7:4)

And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: (7:5)

But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. (7:6)

And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better. (7:7)

And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. (7:8)

And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham. (7:9)

For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him. (7:10)

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? (7:11)

For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. (7:12)

For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. (7:13)

For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. (7:14)

And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, (7:15)

Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. (7:16)

For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. (7:17)

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. (7:18)

For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God. (7:19)

And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]: (7:20)

(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:) (7:21)
