 3Without 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.

 5And 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:
 6But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.
 7And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.
 8And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.
 9And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.
 10For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.
 11If 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?

 13For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.
 14For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

 16Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.
 17For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
 18For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
 19For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God.
 20And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest:
 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:) (Heb. 7:1‑21)
• Here the security is enhanced and crowned by One Who is God no less than man, Jehovah-Messiah the Saviour, Who is gone back to heaven for us, after having made the purification of sins and found an eternal redemption. (“Hebrews 6:13-20” by W. Kelly)
• During the present time, therefore, His priesthood has a heavenly character; nevertheless, He is priest, personally, after the order of Melchisedec. It sets aside, then, the whole Aaronic order, though the priesthood be exercised now after the analogy of Aaron’s. (“Hebrews 6” by J.N. Darby)
• We have therefore not only the Word of God, but Jesus, a living Person in the glory, as the everlasting witness of the glory to which we are going, and the guarantee that we shall be there. (“Comfort and Encouragement: Hebrews 6:9-20” by H. Smith)
