saints； and do minister。
6：11我们愿你们各人都显出这样的殷勤，使你们有满足的指望，一直到底。
And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end：
6：12并且不懈怠。总要效法那些凭信心和忍耐承受应许的人。
That ye be not slothful； but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises。
6：13当初神应许亚伯拉罕的时候，因为没有比自己更大可以指着起誓的，就指着自己起誓说，
For when God made promise to Abraham； because he could swear by no greater； he sware by himself；
6：14论福，我必赐大福给你。论子孙，我必叫你的子孙多起来。
Saying； Surely blessing I will bless thee； and multiplying I will multiply thee。
6：15这样，亚伯拉罕既恒久忍耐，就得了所应许的。
And so； after he had patiently endured； he obtained the promise。
6：16人都是指着比自己大的起誓。并且以起誓为实据，了结各样的争论
For men verily swear by the greater： and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife。
6：17照样，神愿意为那承受应许的人，格外显明他的旨意是不更改的，就起誓为证。
Wherein God； willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel； confirmed it by an oath：
6：18藉这两件不更改的事，神决不能说谎，好叫我们这逃往避难所，持定摆在我们前头指望的人，可以大得勉励。
That by two immutable things； in which it was impossible for God to lie； we might have a strong consolation； who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us：
6：19我们有这指望如同灵魂的锚，又坚固又牢靠，且通入幔内。
Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul； both sure and stedfast； and which entereth into that within the veil；
6：20作先锋的耶稣，既照着麦基洗德的等次，成了永远的大祭司，就为我们进入幔内。
Whither the forerunner is for us entered； even Jesus； made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec。
新约 希伯来书（Hebrews） 第 7 章 （ 本篇共有 13 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
7：1这麦基洗德，就是撒冷王，又是至高神的祭司，本是长远为祭司的。他当亚伯拉罕杀败诸王回来的时候，就迎接他，给他祝福。
For this Melchisedec； king of Salem； priest of the most high God； who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings； and blessed him；
7：2亚伯拉罕也将自己所得来的取十分之一给他。他头一个名翻出来，就是仁义王，他又名撒冷王，就是平安王的意思。
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；
7：3他无父，无母，无族谱，无生之始，无命之终，乃是与神的儿子相似。
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。
7：4你们想一想，先祖亚伯拉罕，将自己所掳来上等之物取十分之一给他，这人是何等尊贵呢。
Now consider how great this man was； unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils。
7：5那是祭司职任的利未子孙，领命照例向百姓取十分之一，这百姓是自己的弟兄，虽是从亚伯拉罕身中生的，（身原文作腰），还是照例取十分之一
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi； who receive the office of the priesthood； have a mandment to take tithes of the people according to the law； that is； of their brethren； though they e out of the loins of Abraham：
7：6独有麦基洗德，不与他们同谱，倒收纳亚伯拉罕的十分之一，为那蒙应许的亚伯拉罕祝福。
But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes of Abraham； and blessed him that had the promises。
7：7从来位分大的给位分小的祝福，这是驳不倒的理。
And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the better。
7：8在这里收十分之一的都是必死的人。但在那里收十分之一的，有为他作见证的说，他是活的。
And here men that die receive tithes； but there he receiveth them； of whom it is witnessed that he liveth。
7：9并且可说，那受十分之一的利未，也是藉着亚伯拉罕纳了十分之一。
And as I may so say； Levi also； who receiveth tithes； payed tithes in Abraham。
7：10因为麦基洗德迎接亚伯拉罕的时候，利未已经在他先祖的身中。（身原文作腰）
For he was yet in the loins of his father； when Melchisedec met him。
7：11从前百姓在利未人祭司职任以下受律法，倘若藉这职任能得完全，又何用另外兴起一位祭司，照麦基洗德的等次，不照亚伦的等次呢。
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？
7：12祭司的职任既已更改，律法也必须更改。
For the priesthood being changed； there is made of necessity a change also of the law。
7：13因为这话所指的人，本属别的支派，那支派里从来没有一人伺候祭坛。
For he of whom these things are spoken pertaineth to another tribe； of which no man gave attendance at the altar。
7：14我们的主分明是从犹大出来的。但这支派，摩西并没有题到祭司。
For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda； of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood。
7：15倘若照麦基洗德的样式，另外兴起一位祭司来，我的话更是显而易见的了。
And it is yet far more evident： for that after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth another priest；
7：16他成为祭司，并不是照属肉体的条例，乃是照无穷之生命的大能。（无穷原文作不能毁坏）。
Who is made； not after the law of a carnal mandment； but after the power of an endless life。
7：17因为有给他作见证的说，你是照着麦基洗德的等次永远为祭司。
For he testifieth； Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec。
7：18先前的条例，因软弱无益，所以废掉了。
For there is verily a disannulling of the mandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof。
7：19（律法原来一无所成）就引进了更美的指望，靠这指望我们便可以进到神面前。
For the law made nothing perfect； but the bringing in of a better hope did； by the which we draw nigh unto God。
7：20再者，耶稣为祭司，并不是不起誓立的。
And inasmuch as not without an oath he was made priest：
7：21至于那些祭司，原不是起誓立的，只有耶稣是起誓立的。因为那立他的对他说，主起了誓决不后悔，你是永远为祭司。
（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：）
7：22既是起誓立的，耶稣就作了更美之约的中保。
By so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament。
7：23那些成为祭司的，数目本来多，是因为有死阻隔不能长久。
And they truly were many priests； because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death：
7：24这位既是永远长存的，他祭司的职任，就长久不更换。
But this man； because he continueth ever； hath an unchangeable priesthood。
7：25凡靠着他进到神面前的人，他都能拯救到底。因为他是长远活着，替他们祈求。
Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that e unto God by him； seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them。
7：26像这样圣洁，无邪恶，无玷污，远离罪人，高过诸天的大祭司，原是与我们合宜的。
For such an high priest became us； who is holy； harmless； undefiled； separate from sinners； and made higher than the heavens；
7：27他不像那些大祭司，每日必须先为自己的罪，后为百姓的罪献祭，因为他只一次将自己献上，就把这事成全了。
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。
7：28律法本是立软弱的人为大祭司。但在律法以后起誓的话，是立儿子为大祭司，乃是成全到永远的。
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。
新约 希伯来书（Hebrews） 第 8 章 （ 本篇共有 13 章 ） 7上一章 下一章8 目录
8：1我们所讲的事，其中第一要紧的，就是我们有这样的大祭司，已经坐在天上至大者宝座的右边，
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；
8：2在圣所，就是真帐幕里，作执事。这帐幕是主所支的，不是人所支的。
A minister of the sanctuary； and of the true tabernacle； which the Lord pitched； and not man。
8：3凡大祭司都是为献礼物和祭物设立的。所以这位大祭司也必须有所献的。
For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices： wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer。
8：4他若在地上，必不得为祭司，因为已经有照律法献礼物的祭司。
For if he were on earth； he should not be a priest； seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law：
8：5他们供奉的事，本是天上事的形状和影像，正如摩西将要造帐幕的时候，蒙神警戒他，说，你要谨慎，作各样的物件，都要照着在山上指示你的样式。
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 shewed to thee in the mount。
8：6如今耶稣所得的职任是更美的，正如他作更美之约的中保。这约原是凭更美之应许立的。
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。
8：7那前约若没有瑕疵，就无处寻求后约了。
For if that first covenant had been faultless； then should no place have been sought for the second。
8：8所以主指责他的百姓说，（或作所以主指前约的缺欠说）日子将到，我要与以色列家，和犹大家，另立新约。
For finding fault with them； he saith； Behold； the days e； saith the Lord； when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the hou
