Hebrews 7:8

And here men that die receive tithes; but there one, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.

In the one case, men who will die receive a tenth, but in the other case, Scripture testifies that he lives.

In the one case tithes are received by mortal men, but in the other case, by one of whom it is testified that he lives.

In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

In the one case, the tenth is collected by people who die; but in the other case, by him who is declared to be living.

Here mortal men receive tithes, but there he receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives.

The priests who collect tithes are men who die, so Melchizedek is greater than they are, because we are told that he lives on.

Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.
