這樣看來，倘若藉着利未人的祭司職分能有完全勝任的資格（而人民之領受了律法倒是以這職分為基本），哪裏還需要另一種的一位祭司興起來、是照麥基洗德的等次、而不稱為照亞倫的等次呢？

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？

那么，如果百姓藉着利未人的祭司职任能达到完全—因为百姓是在这职分下领受律法的—为什么还需要按照麦基洗德的体系另外兴起一位祭司，而不按照亚伦的体系呢？

那么，如果百姓藉着利未人的祭司职任能达到完全—因为百姓是在这职分下领受律法的—为什么还需要按照麦基洗德的体系另外兴起一位祭司，而不按照亚伦的体系呢？

犹太人在利未祭司制度的基础上承受了律法，如果通过这个祭司制度可以达到纯全，又何必照麦基洗德的模式而不是亚伦的模式，另外兴起一位祭司呢？

这样看来，如果藉着利未人的祭司制度能达到完全的地步（人民是在这制度下领受律法的），为什么还需要照着麦基洗德的体系，另外兴起一位祭司，而不照着亚伦的体系呢？

既然如此，如果藉着利未人的祭司职份能达到完全——子民本来在这职份下领受了律法——那么，为什么还需要照着麦基洗德的等级，而不照着所谓“亚伦的等级”兴起另一位祭司呢？

從前百姓在利未人祭司職任以下受律法，倘若藉這職任能得完全，又何用另外興起一位祭司，照麥基洗德的等次，不照亞倫的等次呢？

那麼，如果百姓藉着利未人的祭司職任能達到完全－因為百姓是在這職分下領受律法的－為甚麼還需要按照麥基洗德的體系另外興起一位祭司，而不按照亞倫的體系呢？

那麼，如果百姓藉着利未人的祭司職任能達到完全－因為百姓是在這職分下領受律法的－為甚麼還需要按照麥基洗德的體系另外興起一位祭司，而不按照亞倫的體系呢？

猶太人在利未祭司制度的基礎上承受了律法，如果通過這個祭司制度可以達到純全，又何必照麥基洗德的模式而不是亞倫的模式，另外興起一位祭司呢？

這樣看來，如果藉著利未人的祭司制度能達到完全的地步（人民是在這制度下領受律法的），為甚麼還需要照著麥基洗德的體系，另外興起一位祭司，而不照著亞倫的體系呢？

既然如此，如果藉著利未人的祭司職份能達到完全——子民本來在這職份下領受了律法——那麼，為什麼還需要照著麥基洗德的等級，而不照著所謂「亞倫的等級」興起另一位祭司呢？

昔民在利未人祭司職下受律、若由之而得完全、則何須別興一祭司依麥基洗德之班、而不謂之依亞倫班乎、

昔民受律例時、利未子孫任祭司職、若人賴此、罔有缺乏、則毋庸別設一祭司、依麥基洗德班聯、不依亞倫班聯、

昔民受律法、即在利未子孫得祭司職之時、若賴此祭司之職、能得成全、何用別設一祭司、循麥基洗德之等次、而不循亞倫之等次乎、又作人若賴利未子孫所得祭司之職能得成全何須別設一祭司循麥基洗德之等次而非循亞倫之等次乎民所受之律法與此祭司之職實有關係

夫斯民之受律法也、乃在利未子孫為司祭之時。假使陳制而能躋人於純全之域、則何須復有異軍突起之司祭；而且此司祭何不與亞倫同一支派、而獨與麥基德同一班次耶？

If perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood— and indeed the law given to the people established that priesthood— why was there still need for another priest to come, one in the order of Melchizedek, not in the order of Aaron?

The law that was given to the people called for the priestly system. That system began with Levi. Suppose the priestly system could have made people perfect. Then why was there still a need for another priest to come? And why did he need to be like Melchizedek? Why wasn’t he from Aaron’s family line?

Now if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood( for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron?

So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God need to establish a different priesthood, with a priest in the order of Melchizedek instead of the order of Levi and Aaron?

Now if perfection came through the Levitical priesthood( for on the basis of it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be according to the order of Melchizedek and not according to the order of Aaron?

So if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood( for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

Therefore, if perfection were through the Levitical priesthood( for under it the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should rise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be called according to the order of Aaron?

Now if there was perfection through the Levitical priesthood( for under it hath the people received the law), what further need was there that another priest should arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be reckoned after the order of Aaron?

If then, perfection came through the Levitical priesthood( for under it the people received the law), what further need was there for another priest to appear, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?

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?

So if perfection had in fact been possible through the Levitical priesthood– for on that basis the people received the law– what further need would there have been for another priest to arise, said to be in the order of Melchizedek and not in Aaron’s order?

Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood( for under it the people have received the law), what further need was there for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

假使先前的是無可責備，就不必為一個在後的找地位了。

我不廢棄上帝的恩；稱義的事若是憑着律法可得，基督就白死了。

就是在別處、上帝也這樣說：『你永遠做祭司，照麥基洗德的等次』。

因為有作見證的說：『你永遠做祭司，照麥基洗德的等次』。這一來，一方面因規條之劣弱和無益，先前的條例就被廢掉（律法是未曾叫甚麼事完全及格的）；另一方面，一個較好的指望也就被引進了來，讓我們可以藉着這個來親近上帝。

如今你們既已認識上帝（倒不如說被上帝所認識），怎麼還要再回去歸向那些軟弱貧乏的「星質之靈」，情願重再給它們做奴僕呢？

你們也是在他裏面得完全的。他是各「執政的」各「掌權的」的元首。在他裏面你們也藉着非人手行的割禮、由脫掉屬肉之身體的割禮、基督式的割禮、而受了割禮。在洗禮之中和他一同埋葬，也在洗禮之中憑着信心和他一同活起來：信上帝之運用動力、叫基督從死人中活起來的。你們從前雖由於過犯和肉身之沒受割禮而死，上帝卻叫你們和基督同活，饒恕了我們一切的過犯；擦掉了簽訂在規例中、攻擊我們、跟我們為敵的文件；從我們中間把它除去，釘在十字架上。他既解除了「各執政的」「各掌權的」的權勢，便把他們公然示眾，仗着十字架而得勝，帶領他們做俘虜於凱旋的行列中。所以別在喫喝上、或年節月初一安息日的方面上、讓人論斷你們了。這一些原是以後之事的影兒，真體乃是屬基督的。

那先導者耶穌替我們進了那裏，永遠做大祭司、照麥基洗德的等次。

既然照麥基洗德的樣子、有另一種的一位祭司興起來，那麼所說的就更顯然了。

我們也是這樣：我們做孩童時，就是在世俗所信之「宇宙星質之靈」底下做奴僕。

先前的人被立為祭司、原沒有起誓的事；惟獨關於他、卻有起誓的事：乃是藉那對他說話者所起的，說：『主起了誓、決不改變心意；你做祭司、直到永遠』）。

因為那些日子以後，主說，我要同以色列家立的就是以下這種約：我要頒賜我的律法在他們心神裏，我要將那些律法寫在他們心上；我要做他們的上帝，他們要做我的子民。他們各人決不用教導自己的同國人，各人決不用教導自己的弟兄說：「你該認識主」。因為眾人都要認識我，從他們最小的到最大的；因為我要憐赦他們的不義；他們的罪、我決不再記着』。說一個新的，就已使先前的成為舊的了；並且那漸漸故舊而衰老的、就將近於滅沒了。

蒙上帝稱呼為大祭司，照麥基洗德的等次。

律法所有的既僅僅是將來美好事物的影兒，而不是那些事物的本體，它總不能用人們每年不斷供獻的同樣祭物使上前去敬拜的人完全無罪。若不然，這些祭物豈不早已停止、而不被供獻麼？因為禮拜的人已經儘一次地得了潔淨，完全不再有罪的意識了。其實在這些事上、每年反而使人記起罪來呢；因為公牛和山羊的血是不能把罪除掉的。
