For if He were on earth, He should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests who offer gifts according to the law,
Now if he were on earth, he would not be a priest at all, seeing there are those who offer the gifts according to the law;
Now if He were [still living] on earth, He would not be a priest at all, for there are priests who offer the gifts [to God] in accordance with the Law.
If then He were still living on earth, He would not be a priest at all, for there are [already priests] who offer the gifts in accordance with the Law.
For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law:
Now if he were on earth, he wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts prescribed by the law.
Now if he were on earth, he wouldn’t be a priest, since there are those offering the gifts prescribed by the law.
If he was located on earth, he wouldn’t be a priest because there are already others who offer gifts based on the Law.
Now if he were on earth, he wouldn’t be a cohen at all, since there already are cohanim offering the gifts required by the Torah.
If he were here on earth, he would not be a priest at all, because here the Law appoints other priests to offer sacrifices.
If then indeed he were upon earth, he would not even be a priest, there being those who offer the gifts according to the law,
Now indeed, if He were on earth He would not even be a priest— there being the ones offering the gifts according-to the Law,
If then he were on earth, he would not be a priest: seeing that there would be others to offer gifts according to the law,
If our high priest were now living on earth, he would not be a priest. I say this because there are already priests here who follow the law by offering gifts to God.
If he was living on earth, then he would not be a priest. There are already priests on earth who offer gifts to God. They do this in the way that Moses' law tells them.
If this priest were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because there are priests who are designated by the law to offer gifts.

Now if he were on earth, he would not even be a priest, because other men offer the gifts prescribed by the Law.
Now if he were still living on earth he would not be a priest at all, for there are already priests offering the gifts prescribed by the Law. These men are serving what is only a pattern or reproduction of things that exist in Heaven. (Moses, you will remember, when he was going to construct the tabernacle, was cautioned by God in these words: ‘See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain’).
For if he were on earth, he should not even be a priest, being present still the other priests that offer gifts according to the law,

The sacrifice he offers is far better than those offered by the earthly priests. (But even so, if he were here on earth he wouldn’t even be permitted to be a priest because down here the priests still follow the old Jewish system of sacrifices.)
The assigned task of a high priest is to offer both gifts and sacrifices, and it’s no different with the priesthood of Jesus. If he were limited to earth, he wouldn’t even be a priest. We wouldn’t need him since there are plenty of priests who offer the gifts designated in the law. These priests provide only a hint of what goes on in the true sanctuary of heaven, which Moses caught a glimpse of as he was about to set up the tent-shrine. It was then that God said, “Be careful to do it exactly as you saw it on the Mountain.”
For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests that offer gifts according to the law.
So if he had been on earth, he would not be a priest, since there are already those who offer the gifts prescribed by the law.
