멜기세덱의 신비 (2부)

^7:12 For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law. ^7:13 For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar. ^7:14 For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. ^7:15 And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest, ^7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life. ^7:17 For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec. ^7:18 For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. ^7:19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. ^7:20 And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest: ^7:21 (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:) ^7:22 By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. ^7:23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: ^7:24 But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. ^7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. ^7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; ^7:27 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. ^7:28 For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.
