| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with weakness. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Because of this he is obligated to offer sacrifice for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And no one takes this honor for himself, but only when called by God, just as Aaron was. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”; |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6as he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.” |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverence. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Although he was a son, he learned obedience through what he suffered. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And being made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil. |
