A.T. Robertson Commentary Hebrews 7:7

"But without any dispute the less is blessed of the better." — Hebrews 7:7 (ASV)

Dispute (αντιλογιας). Ablative case with χωρις. For the word see 6:16. The writer makes a parenthetical generalization and uses the article and neuter adjective (το ελασσον, the less, υπο του κρειττονος, by the better), a regular Greek idiom.
