Hebrews 5

The Perfect High Priest

For every high priest taken from amongst men is established for men in things relating to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

The Perfect High Priest

For 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;

being able to exercise forbearance towards the ignorant and erring, since he himself also is clothed with infirmity;

he can deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is beset with weakness;

and, on account of this [infirmity], he ought, even as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

and because of it he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, as for the people, so also for himself.

And no one takes the honour to himself but [as] called by God, even as Aaron also.

And no one takes the honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.

Thus the Christ also has not glorified himself to be made a high priest; but he who had said to him, *Thou* art my Son, *I* have to-day begotten thee.

So 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”;

Even as also in another [place] he says, *Thou* [art] a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

just as He says also in another passage,
“YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER
ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up both supplications and entreaties to him who was able to save him out of death, with strong crying and tears; (and having been heard because of his piety;)

In 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.

though he were Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

and having been perfected, became to all them that obey him, author of eternal salvation;

And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

addressed by God [as] high priest according to the order of Melchisedec.

being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

Warning against Drifting Away

Concerning whom we have much to say, and hard to be interpreted in speaking [of it], since ye are become dull in hearing.

Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have again need that [one] should teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and are become such as have need of milk, [and] not of solid food.

For 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.

For every one that partakes of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;

For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.
