58:006:012 That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through
           faith and patience inherit the promises.

58:006:013 For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear
           by no greater, he sware by himself,

58:006:014 Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I
           will multiply thee.

58:006:015 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the
           promise.

58:006:016 For men verily swear by the greater:  and an oath for
           confirmation is to them an end of all strife.

58:006:017 Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of
           promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an
           oath: 

58:006:018 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: 

58:006:019 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and
           stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;

58:006:020 Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Jesus, made an
           high priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

58:007:001 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;

58:007:002 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;

58:007:003 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.

58:007:004 Now consider how great this man was, unto whom even the
           patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils.

58:007:005 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: 

58:007:006 But he whose descent is not counted from them received tithes
           of Abraham, and blessed him that had the promises.

58:007:007 And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the
           better.

58:007:008 And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth
           them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

58:007:009 And as I may so say, Levi also, who receiveth tithes, payed
           tithes in Abraham.

58:007:010 For he was yet in the loins of his father, when Melchisedec
           met him.
