Take heed, brethren, lest at any time there shall be in anyone of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God;

For every high priest, taken from among men, is appointed in behalf of men in the things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

And no one takes the honor to himself, but, when called by God, as was also Aaron.

And those, indeed, from among the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, (though having come out of the loins of Abraham);

but he whose genealogy is not reckoned from them has taken tithes of Abraham, and has blessed him who had the promises.

And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who takes tithes, has paid tithes;

For He of Whom these things are spoken hath taken part in a different tribe from which no one gave attendance at the altar.

And, for this cause, He is the Mediator of a new covenant, that, death having taken place for redemption from the transgressions against the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

for it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.

And every priest, indeed, stands daily ministering, and ofttimes offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

looking away to the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus; Who, in consideration of the joy lying before Him, endured the cross, despising shame, and hath taken a seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
