- For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,
- to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.
- Without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God, he remains a priest perpetually.
- Now observe how great this man was to whom Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth of the choicest spoils.
- 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.

- 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.
