| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5So also Christ did not take upon Himself the glory of becoming a high priest, but He was called by the One who said to Him: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.” |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6And in another passage God says: “You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.” |

| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food! |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their senses to distinguish good from evil. |
