For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in the service of God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins, |

|
Who can have compassion ignorant and erring, for that he himself is compassed with infirmity, |
| 3
|
And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to bring [sacrifices] for sins. |
| 4
|
And no man taketh this honor, but is called by God, as Aaron was. |

So Christ also did not glorify Himself to be the high priest, but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee: |

He, in the days of his flesh, with loud cries and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to Him who is able to save him from death; and was heard in [his] reverence; |
| 8
|
Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by suffering, |
| 9
|
And being made perfect, he became for all who obey him, author of eternal salvation,
|
| 10
|
Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchizedek. |

For, [judging] by this time you ought to be teachers; but again you need to be taught the first principles of the oracles of God, and you need milk, not solid food. |
| 13
|
Anyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe; |
| 14
|
But solid food is for the mature, whose senses exercised to discern both good and evil. |
