Hebrews 5

American Standard Version

1For every highG749 priestG749, being takenG2983 from among menG444, is appointedG2525 for menG444 in thingsG3956 pertaining to GodG2316, that he may offerG4374 both giftsG1435 and sacrificesG2378 for sinsG266: 2who can bear gently with the ignorantG50 and erringG4105, for that he himself alsoG2532 is compassed with infirmityG769; 3and by reason thereof is bound, as for the peopleG2992, so alsoG2532 for himself, to offerG4374 for sinsG266. 4And no man taketh the honorG5092 unto himself, but when he is calledG2564 of GodG2316, evenG2532 as was AaronG2. 5So ChristG5547 alsoG2532 glorifiedG1392 not himself to beG1510 made a highG749 priestG749, but he that spake unto him,

Thou art my SonG5207,This dayG4594 have I begotten thee:

6as he saith alsoG2532 in another place,

Thou art a priestG2409 for everAfter the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.

7Who in the daysG2250 of his fleshG4561, having offeredG4374 up prayersG1162 and supplications with strongG2478 cryingG2906 and tearsG1144 unto him that was ableG1410 to saveG4982 him from deathG2288, and having been heard for his godly fear, 8though he wasG1510 a SonG5207, yet learnedG3129 obedienceG5218 by the thingsG3739 which he sufferedG3958; 9and having been made perfectG5048, he becameG1096 unto all them that obeyG5219 him the author of eternalG166 salvationG4991; 10named of GodG2316 a highG749 priestG749 after the orderG5010 of MelchizedekG3198.

11Of whom we have manyG4183 thingsG4183 to sayG3004, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are becomeG1096 dull of hearingG189. 12For when by reason of the timeG5550 ye oughtG3784 to beG1510 teachersG1320, ye have needG5532 againG3825 that some oneG5100 teachG1321 you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of GodG2316; and areG1510 becomeG1096 such as have needG5532 of milkG1051, and not of solidG4731 foodG5160. 13For every oneG3588 that partaketh of milkG1051 isG1510 without experience of the wordG3056 of righteousnessG1343; for he isG1510 a babe. 14But solidG4731 foodG5160 isG1510 for fullgrown men, evenG2532 those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern goodG2570 and evilG2556.
