Hebrews 5

(CLV) Hebrews 5

1 For every chief priest obtained from among men is constituted for men in that which is toward God, that he may be offering both approach presents and sacrifices for sins, 2 able to be moderate with the ignorant and straying, since he also is encompassed with infirmity, 3 and because of it he ought, according as for the people, thus for himself also, be offering for sins. 4 And not for himself is anyone getting the honor, but on being called by God even as Aaron, also. 5 Thus Christ also does not glorify Himself by becoming a chief priest, but He Who speaks to Him, "My Son art Thou! I, today, have begotten Thee", 6 according as in a different place also He is saying, "Thou art a priest for the eon according to the order of Melchizedek", 7 Who, in the days of His flesh, offering both petitions and supplications with strong clamor and tears to Him Who is able to save Him out of death, being hearkened to also for His piety, 8 even He also, being a Son, learned obedience from that which He suffered. 9 And being perfected, He became the cause of eonian salvation to all who are obeying Him, 10 being accosted by God "Chief Priest according to the order of Melchizedek", 11 concerning whom there are words, many and abstruse, for us to say, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For when also, because of the time, you ought to be teachers, you have need again of one to teach you what are the rudimentary elements of the oracles of God, and you have come to have need of milk, and not of solid nourishment. 13 For everyone who is partaking of milk is untried in the word of righteousness, for he is a minor. 14 Now solid nourishment is for the mature, who, because of habit, have faculties exercised for discriminating between the ideal and the evil.
