¹ This Melchizedek, king of Salem — which being priest of the most high God, met Abraham, as he returned again from the slaughter of the kings, and blessed him: ² to whom also Abraham gave tithes of all things — first is, by interpretation, king of righteousness, after that he is king of Salem, that is to say king of peace, ³ without father, without mother, without kin, and hath neither beginning of his time, neither yet end of his life: but is likened unto the son of God, and continueth a priest forever. ⁴ Consider what a man this was, unto whom the patriarch Abraham gave tithes of the spoils. ⁵ And verily those children of Levi, which receive the office of the priests, have a commandment to take according to the law, tithes of the people, that is to say, of their brethren, yea though they sprung out of the loins of Abraham. ⁶ But he whose kindred is not counted among them, received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises. ⁷ And no man denieth but that which is less, receiveth blessing of him which is greater. ⁸ And here men that die receive tithes. But there he receiveth tithes of whom it is witnessed, that he liveth. ⁹ And to say the truth, Levi himself also which receiveth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. ¹⁰ For he was yet in the loins of his father Abraham, when Melchizedek met him. ¹¹ If now therefore perfection came by the priesthood of the Levites — for under that priesthood the people received the law — what needed it furthermore that another priest should rise, after the order of Melchizedek, and not after the order of Aaron? ¹² Now no doubt, if the priesthood be translated, then of necessity must the law be translated also. ¹³ For he of whom these things are spoken, pertaineth unto another tribe, of which never man served at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord sprung of the tribe of Judah, of which tribe spake Moses nothing concerning priesthood. ¹⁵ And it is yet a more evident thing, if after the similitude of Melchizedek there arise another priest, ¹⁶ which is not made after the law of the carnal commandment: but after the power of the endless life. ¹⁷ For he testifieth, "Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek." ¹⁸ Then the commandment that went afore, is disannulled, because of her weakness and unprofitableness. ¹⁹ For the law made no thing perfect: but was an introduction of a better hope, by which hope, we draw nigh unto God. ²⁰ And for this cause it is a better hope, that it was not promised without an oath. ²¹ Those priests were made without an oath: but this priest with an oath, by him that said unto him, "The Lord sware, and will not repent: Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek." ²² And for that cause was Jesus an establisher of a better testament. ²³ And among them, many were made priests, because they were not suffered to endure by the reason of death. ²⁴ But this man, because he endureth ever, hath an everlasting priesthood: ²⁵ Wherefore he is able also ever to save them that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth, to make intercession for us. ²⁶ Such a high priest it becometh us to have, which is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than heaven. ²⁷ Which needeth not daily — as yonder high priests — to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's sins. For that did he at once for all, when he offered up himself: ²⁸ For the law maketh men priests, which have infirmity: but the word of the oath that came since the law, maketh the son priest, which is perfect for evermore.

Verily I say unto you, they have their reward. ³ But when thou doest thine alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: ⁴ that thine alms may be secret: and thy father which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

⁶ This yet remember, how that he which soweth little, shall reap little: and he that soweth plenteously shall reap plenteously. ⁷ And let every man do according as he hath purposed in his heart, not grudgingly, or of necessity. For God loveth a cheerful giver. ⁸ God is able to make you rich in all grace, that ye in all things having sufficient unto the utmost, may be rich unto all manner good works,
