Hebrews 5 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Heb 5:1

For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,

Heb 5:2being able to deal gently with the ignorant and misguided, since he himself also is [fn]beset with weakness;
Heb 5:3and because of it, he is obligated, just as for the people, to also offer sacrifices for sins in the same way for himself.
Heb 5:4And no one takes this honor to himself, but receives it when he is called by God, even as Aaron was.
Heb 5:5

In this way also Christ did not glorify Himself to become a high priest, but He who said to Him,

“YOU ARE MY SON,

TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU”;

Heb 5:6

just as He says also in another passage,

“YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER

ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK.”

Heb 5:7

He, [fn]in the days of His flesh, [fn]offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him [fn]from death, and He [fn]was heard because of His reverence.

Heb 5:8Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.
Heb 5:9And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,
Heb 5:10being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.
Heb 5:11

Concerning [fn]him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

Heb 5:12For though [fn]by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the [fn]elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
Heb 5:13For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
Heb 5:14But solid food is for the [fn]mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern both good and evil.
