For{G1063} every{G3956} high priest{G749} taken{G2983}{(G5746)} from among{G1537} men{G444} is ordained{G2525}{(G5743)} for{G5228} men{G444} in things pertaining to{G4314} God{G2316}, that{G2443} he may offer{G4374}{(G5725)} both{G5037} gifts{G1435} and{G2532} sacrifices{G2378} for{G5228} sins{G266}:

Who can{G1410}{(G5740)} have compassion{G3356}{(G5721)} on the ignorant{G50}{(G5723)}, and{G2532} on them that are out of the way{G4105}{(G5746)}; for{G1893} that he{G4029} himself{G846} also{G2532} is compassed{G4029}{(G5736)} with infirmity{G769}.

And{G2532} by reason{G1223} hereof{G5026} he ought{G3784}{(G5719)}, as{G2531} for{G4012} the people{G2992}, so{G3779} also{G2532} for{G4012} himself{G1438}, to offer{G4374}{(G5721)} for{G5228} sins{G266}.

And{G2532} no{G3756} man{G5100} taketh{G2983}{(G5719)} this honour{G5092} unto himself{G1438}, but{G235} he that is called{G2564}{(G5746)} of{G5259} God{G2316}, as{G2509}{G2532} was Aaron{G2}.

So{G3779} also{G2532} Christ{G5547} glorified{G1392}{(G5656)} not{G3756} himself{G1438} to be made{G1096}{(G5677)} an high priest{G749}; but{G235} he that said{G2980}{(G5660)} unto{G4314} him{G846}, Thou{G4771} art{G1488}{(G5748)} my{G3450} Son{G5207}, to day{G4594} have{G1080} I{G1473} begotten{G1080}{(G5758)} thee{G4571}.

As{G2531} he saith{G3004}{(G5719)} also{G2532} in{G1722} another{G2087} place, Thou{G4771} art a priest{G2409} for{G1519} ever{G165} after{G2596} the order{G5010} of Melchisedec{G3198}.

Who{G3739} in{G1722} the days{G2250} of his{G846} flesh{G4561}, when he had offered up{G4374}{(G5660)} prayers{G1162} and{G5037}{G2532} supplications{G2428} with{G3326} strong{G2478} crying{G2906} and{G2532} tears{G1144} unto{G4314} him that was able{G1410}{(G5740)} to save{G4982}{(G5721)} him{G846} from{G1537} death{G2288}, and{G2532} was heard{G1522}{(G5685)} in that{G575} he feared{G2124};

Though{G2539} he were{G5607}{(G5752)} a Son{G5207}, yet learned he{G3129}{(G5627)} obedience{G5218} by{G575} the things which{G3739} he suffered{G3958}{(G5627)};

And{G2532} being made perfect{G5048}{(G5685)}, he became{G1096}{(G5633)} the author{G159} of eternal{G166} salvation{G4991} unto all{G3956} them that obey{G5219}{(G5723)} him{G846};

Called{G4316}{(G5685)} of{G5259} God{G2316} an high priest{G749} after{G2596} the order{G5010} of Melchisedec{G3198}.

Of{G4012} whom{G3739} we{G2254} have{G3056} many things{G4183} to say{G3056}, and{G2532} hard{G1421} to be uttered{G3004}{(G5721)}, seeing{G1893} ye are{G1096}{(G5754)} dull{G3576} of hearing{G189}.

For{G2532}{G1063} when for{G1223} the time{G5550} ye ought{G3784}{(G5723)} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} teachers{G1320}, ye have{G2192}{(G5719)} need{G5532} that one teach{G1321}{(G5721)} you{G5209} again{G3825} which{G5101} be the first{G746} principles{G4747} of the oracles{G3051} of God{G2316}; and{G2532} are become such as{G1096}{(G5754)} have{G2192}{(G5723)} need{G5532} of milk{G1051}, and{G2532} not{G3756} of strong{G4731} meat{G5160}.

For{G1063} every one{G3956} that useth{G3348}{(G5723)} milk{G1051} is unskilful{G552} in the word{G3056} of righteousness{G1343}: for{G1063} he is{G2076}{(G5748)} a babe{G3516}.

But{G1161} strong{G4731} meat{G5160} belongeth to them that are{G2076}{(G5748)} of full age{G5046}, even those who by reason{G1223} of use{G1838} have{G2192}{(G5723)} their senses{G145} exercised{G1128}{(G5772)} to{G4314} discern{G1253} both{G5037} good{G2570} and{G2532} evil{G2556}.
