Hebrews 7:17 - Compare All Versions

Deli

But the Melchizedek story provides a perfect analogy: Jesus, a priest like Melchizedek, not by genealogical descent but by the sheer force of resurrection life—he lives!—“priest forever in the royal order of Melchizedek.” The former way of doing things, a system of commandments that never worked out the way it was supposed to, was set aside; the law brought nothing to maturity. Another way—Jesus!—a way that does work, that brings us right into the presence of God, is put in its place.

For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchisedec.

For it is attested of Him, “YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

It is said about him, “You are a priest forever, a priest like Melchizedek.”

for it is witnessed of him, Thou art a priest for ever After the order of Melchizedek.

For it is declared: “You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.”

For He testifies: “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek.”

For it is attested [by God] of Him, “YOU (Christ) ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.” [Ps 110:4]

And the psalmist pointed this out when he prophesied, “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.”

For it says in the Psalms, You are like Melchizedek, a King-Priest forever!

For it is witnessed of him, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”
