Hebrews 7:23-28

Hebrews 7:23-28. Chiastic structure copied from Chiastic Analysis of the Epistle to the Hebrews, arranged by John Bligh (Athenaeum Press, Heythrop College, Oxon, England: 1966). Bligh's work is almost entirely in Greek. For website purposes, I have used unaccented Greek from the Unbound Bible, Nestle-Aland 26, at unbound.biola.edu
I have added English from the New American Standard Bible, revised.
