Hebrews 7:11

---

← Hebrews 7:10	Hebrews 7:11 (KJV)	Hebrews 7:12 →
For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec met him.	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?	For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
