1 For every chief priest — out of men taken — in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins, YLT — Hebrews 5:1
2 able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity; YLT — Hebrews 5:2
3 and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins; YLT — Hebrews 5:3
4 and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron: YLT — Hebrews 5:4
5 so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: ‘My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;’ YLT — Hebrews 5:5
6 as also in another [place] He saith, ‘Thou [art] a priest — to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;’ YLT — Hebrews 5:6
7 who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death — with strong crying and tears — having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared, YLT — Hebrews 5:7
8 through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered — the obedience, YLT — Hebrews 5:8
9 and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during, YLT — Hebrews 5:9
10 having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek, YLT — Hebrews 5:10
11 concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing, YLT — Hebrews 5:11
12 for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food, YLT — Hebrews 5:12
13 for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness — for he is an infant, YLT — Hebrews 5:13
14 and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil. YLT — Hebrews 5:14
