30 day study of the words of Paul

  =================================

  Day 28

        HEB 07:02  To whom also Abraham gave a tenth part of all; first being by interpretation King of righteousness, and after that also King of Salem, which is, King of peace;

        HEB 07:03  Without 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.

        HEB 07:04  Now consider how great this man [was], unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

        HEB 07:05  And 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:

        HEB 07:06  But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

        HEB 07:07  And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better.

        HEB 07:08  And here men that die receive tithes; but there he [receiveth them], of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

        HEB 07:09  And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed tithes in Abraham.

        HEB 07:10  For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.

        HEB 07:11  If 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?

        HEB 07:12  For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

        HEB 07:13  For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attendance at the altar.

        HEB 07:14  For [it is] evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood.

        HEB 07:15  And it is yet far more evident: for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest,

        HEB 07:16  Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

        HEB 07:17  For he testifieth, Thou [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

        HEB 07:18  For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

        HEB 07:19  For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope [did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God.

        HEB 07:20  And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]:

        HEB 07:21  (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 07:22  By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament.

        HEB 07:23  And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death:

        HEB 07:24  But this [man], because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.

        HEB 07:25  Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

        HEB 07:26  For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;

        HEB 07:27  Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people's: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

        HEB 07:28  For the law maketh men high priests which have infirmity; but the word of the oath, which was since the law, [maketh] the Son, who is consecrated for evermore.

        HEB 08:01  Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

        HEB 08:02  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

        HEB 08:03  For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

        HEB 08:04  For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:

        HEB 08:05  Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.

        HEB 08:06  But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

        HEB 08:07  For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.

        HEB 08:08  For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:

        HEB 08:09  Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord.

        HEB 08:10  For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:

        HEB 08:11  And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.

        HEB 08:12  For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

        HEB 08:13  In that he saith, A new [covenant], he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

        HEB 09:01  Then verily the first [covenant] had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

        HEB 09:02  For there was a tabernacle made; the first, wherein [was] the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is called the sanctuary.

        HEB 09:03  And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all;

        HEB 09:04  Which had the golden censer, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron's rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant;

        HEB 09:05  And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercyseat; of which we cannot now speak particularly.

        HEB 09:06  Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service [of God].

        HEB 09:07  But into the second [went] the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and [for] the errors of the people:

        HEB 09:08  The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing:

        HEB 09:09  Which [was] a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

        HEB 09:10  [Which stood] only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed [on them] until the time of reformation.

        HEB 09:11  But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;

        HEB 09:12  Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption [for us].

        HEB 09:13  For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:

        HEB 09:14  How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

        HEB 09:15  And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions [that were] under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.

        HEB 09:16  For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.

        HEB 09:17  For a testament [is] of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth.

        HEB 09:18  Whereupon neither the first [testament] was dedicated without blood.

        HEB 09:19  For when Moses had spoken every precept to all the people according to the law, he took the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book, and all the people,

        HEB 09:20  Saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God hath enjoined unto you.

        HEB 09:21  Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry.

        HEB 09:22  And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.

        HEB 09:23  [It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

        HEB 09:24  For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:

        HEB 09:25  Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

        HEB 09:26  For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.

        HEB 09:27  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

        HEB 09:28  So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

        HEB 10:01  For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
