| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins; |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness; |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"; |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6just as He says also in another passage, "YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK." |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7In the days of His flesh, He offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His piety. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Concerning him 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 have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. |
