BLB(i)
1 For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed on behalf of men in things relating to God, that he should offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,
2 being able to exercise forbearance with those being ignorant and going astray, since he himself also is encompassed by weakness;
3 and because of this, he is obligated to offer sacrifices for sins, so also for himself, just as for the people.
4 And no one takes upon himself the honor, but rather being called by God, just as Aaron also.
5 So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become a high priest, but the One having said to Him: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.”
6 Just as He says also in another place: “You are a priest to the age, according to the order of Melchizedek.”
7 He in the days of His flesh, having offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One being able to save Him from death, and having been heard because of reverent submission,
8 though being a Son, He learned obedience from the things He suffered,
9 and having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all those obeying Him,
10 having been designated by God a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
11 Concerning this there is much speech from us, and difficult in interpretation to speak, since you have become sluggish in the hearings.
12 For even by the time you ought to be teachers, you have need of one to teach you again what is the beginning of the principles of the oracles of God; and you have become those having need of milk, and not of solid food.
13 For everyone partaking of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
14 But solid food is for the mature, the ones by constant use having trained the senses for distinguishing both good and evil.
