Hebrews 5

Text

5 For every chief priest -- out of men taken -- in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer //gift// both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

^2 ^able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;

^3 ^and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer //gift// for sins;

^4 ^and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:

^5 ^so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: `My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'

^6 ^as also in another [place] He saith, `Thou [art] a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'

^7 ^who in the days of his flesh both prayers //tefillos// and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,

^8 ^through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered -- the obedience,

^9 ^and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,

^10 ^having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,

^11 ^concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,

^12 ^for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,

^13 ^for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness -- for he is an infant,

^14 ^and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
