- 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;
- 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;
- 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.
- Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.
- 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:

- 這麥基洗德、就是撒冷王、又是至高 神的祭司、本是長遠為祭司的.他當亞伯拉罕殺敗諸王回來的時候、就迎接他、給他祝福。
- 亞伯拉罕也將自己所得來的、取十分之一給他.他頭一個名繙出來、就是仁義王、他又名撒冷王、就是平安王的意思.
- 他無父、無母、無族譜、無生之始、無命之終、乃是與 神的兒子相似。
- 你們想一想、先祖亞伯拉罕、將自己所擄來上等之物取十分之一給他、這人是何等尊貴呢。
- 那得祭司職任的利未子孫、領命照例向百姓取十分之一、這百姓是自己的弟兄、雖是從亞伯拉罕身中生的、〔身原文作腰〕還是照例取十分之一.
