NASB
"In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on."
— Hebrews 7:8, NASB
“And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.”
“And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth. ”
“Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.”
“and in one case tithes are received by mortal men, while in the other by him who is affirmed to be alive.”
“And here indeed, men that die receive tithes: but there, he hath witness that he liveth.”
“Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.”
“And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.”
And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.
But the one whose genealogy is not traced from them collected a tenth from Abraham and blessed the one who had the promises.
But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater.
In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.
And, so to speak, through Abraham even Levi, who received tithes, paid tithes,
for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.
Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?
