To whom

continually.

Now

consider

θεωρέω

how great

πηλίκος

this man

οὗτος

was, unto whom

ὅς

even

καί

πατριάρχης

Abraham

Ἀβραάμ

though

καίπερ

they come

ἐξέρχομαι

out of

) what

τίς

further

need

χρεία

was there that another

priest

ἱερεύς

should rise

after

κατά

the order

of Melchisedec,

Μελχισεδέκ

and

not

οὐ

after

κατά

the order

of Aaron?

Ἀαρών

💬📚

12

For

γάρ

the priesthood

ἱερωσύνη

being changed,

there is made

γίνομαι

of

ἐκ

necessity

ἀνάγκη

a change

μετάθεσις

also

καί

of the law.

💬📚

13

For

γάρ

he of

14

For

it is evident

nothing

οὐδείς

concerning

priesthood.

ἱερωσύνη

💬📚

15

And

καί

it is

of Melchisedec

Μελχισεδέκ

there ariseth

ἀνίστημι

another

ἕτερος

priest,

ἱερεύς

💬📚

16

Who

ὅς

ἀλλά

after

of an endless

ἀκατάλυτος

life.

ἱερεύς

for

εἰς

ever

αἰών

after

κατά

the order

Μελχισεδέκ

💬📚

18

For

γάρ

there is

γίνομαι

verily

μέν

a disannulling

ἀθέτησις

of the commandment

going before

προάγω

for

διά

the weakness

ἀσθενής

and

καί

unprofitableness

ἀνωφελής

thereof.

αὐτός

💬📚

19

For

γάρ

the law

νόμος

made

τελειόω

nothing

οὐδείς

perfect,

τελειόω

but

δέ

the bringing in

ἐπεισαγωγή

of a better

κρείττων

hope

ἐλπίς

did; by

διά

the which

ὅς

we draw nigh

ἐγγίζω

unto God.

θεός

💬📚

20

And

καί

inasmuch as

κατά

ὅσος

not

οὐ

without

an oath

ὁρκωμοσία

he was made priest:

💬📚

21

(For

γάρ

those priests

ἱερεύς

were

μέν

εἰσί3rd

made

γίνομαι

without

χωρίς

an oath;

ὁρκωμοσία

but

δέ

this with

The Lord

κύριος

sware

ὀμνύω

and

καί

will

μεταμέλομαι

not

οὐ

μεταμέλομαι

Thou

σύ

ἱερεύς

for

εἰς

ever

αἰών

after

κατά

Μελχισεδέκ

)

💬📚

22

By

κατά

so much

τοσοῦτος

was

γίνομαι

Jesus

Ἰησοῦς

made

γίνομαι

a surety

ἔγγυος

of a better

κρείττων

testament.

💬📚

23

And

καί

they

εἰσί3rd

truly

μέν

were

εἰσί3rd

γίνομαι

many

priests,

ἱερεύς

because they were not suffered

κωλύω

to continue

παραμένω

by reason of

διά

death:

θάνατος

💬📚

24

But

δέ

this man, because

διά

ever,

εἰς

αἰών

hath

ἔχω

an unchangeable

ἀπαράβατος

priesthood.

ἱερωσύνη

💬📚

25

Wherefore

the uttermost

παντελής

that come

προσέρχομαι

unto God

θεός

by

διά

him,

αὐτός

seeing he ever

πάντοτε

liveth

ζάω

to

make intercession

ἐντυγχάνω

for

ὑπέρ

them.

αὐτός

💬📚

26

For

γάρ

such

τοιοῦτος

an high priest

ἀρχιερεύς

who is holy,

ὅσιος

harmless,

ἄκακος

undefiled,

ἀμίαντος

separate

ἀπό

sinners,

ἁμαρτωλός

and

καί

made

γίνομαι

higher than

ὑψηλός

the heavens;

οὐρανός

💬📚

27

Who

ὅς

needeth

ἔχω

ἀνάγκη

not

οὐ

daily,

κατά

ἡμέρα

as

ὥσπερ

those high priests,

ἀρχιερεύς

to offer up

ἀναφέρω

sacrifice,

θυσία

first

πρότερον

for

ὑπέρ

his own

ἴδιος

sins,

ἁμαρτία

and then

ἔπειτα

for the people's:

for

γάρ

this

τοῦτο

he did

ποιέω

once,

ἐφάπαξ

when he offered up

ἀναφέρω

himself.

ἑαυτοῦ

💬📚

28

For

the law

maketh

καθίστημι

men

ἄνθρωπος

high priests

ἀρχιερεύς

which have

ἔχω

infirmity;

ἀσθένεια

but

the word

of the oath,

ὁρκωμοσία

which

was since

μετά

the law,

maketh the Son,

υἱός

who is consecrated
