For everyG3956 highG749 priestG749 takenG2983 from amongG3319 menG444 is ordainedG2525 for menG444 in things pertaining to God,G2316 that he may offerG4374 bothG5037 giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 for sins:G266
2
Who canG1410 haveG2192 compassionG3356 on the ignorant,G50 and on them that are out of the way;G4105 for that he himselfG846 alsoG2532 is compassedG4029 with infirmity.G769
3
And by reasonG1223 hereofG5026 he ought,G3784 as for the people,G2992 soG3779 alsoG2532 for himself,G1438 to offerG4374 for sins.G266
4
And noG3756 manG5100 takesG2983 thisG3588 honorG5092 to himself,G1438 but he that is calledG2564 of God,G2316 as was Aaron.G2
5
SoG3779 alsoG2532 ChristG5547 glorifiedG1392 not himselfG1438 to be madeG1096 an highG749 priest;G749 but he that saidG2980 to him, You areG1488 my Son,G5207 to dayG4594 have I begottenG1080 you.
6
As he saidG3004 alsoG2532 in anotherG2087 place, You are a priestG2409 for everG165 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of Melchisedec.G3198
7
WhoG3739 in the daysG2250 of his flesh,G4561 when he had offeredG4374 up prayersG1162 and supplicationsG2428 with strongG2478 cryingG2906 and tearsG1144 to him that was ableG1410 to saveG4982 him from death,G2288 and was heardG1522 in that he feared;G2124
8
ThoughG2539 he were a Son,G5207 yet learnedG3129 he obedienceG5218 by the things whichG3739 he suffered;G3958
9
And being madeG5048 perfect,G5048 he becameG1096 the authorG159 of eternalG166 salvationG4991 to allG3956 them that obeyG5219 him;
10
CalledG4316 of GodG2316 an highG749 priestG749 afterG2596 the orderG5010 of Melchisedec.G3198
11
Of whomG3739 we have manyG4183 things to say,G3056 and hardG1421 to be uttered,G3004 seeingG1893 you are dullG3576 of hearing.G189
12
For when for the timeG5550 you oughtG3784 to be teachers,G1320 you haveG2192 needG5532 that one teachG1321 you againG3825 whichG5101 be the firstG746 principlesG4747 of the oraclesG3051 of God;G2316 and are becomeG1096 such as haveG2192 needG5532 of milk,G1051 and not of strongG4731 meat.G5160
13
For everyG3956 one that usesG3348 milkG1051 is unskillfulG552 in the wordG3056 of righteousness:G1343 for he is a babe.G3516
14
But strongG4731 meatG5160 belongsG1510 to them that are of fullG5046 age,G5046 even thoseG3588 who by reasonG1223 of useG1838 haveG2192 their sensesG145 exercisedG1128 to discernG1253 bothG5037 goodG2570 and evil.G2556
