Hebrews 5
New King James Version
Qualifications for High Priesthood
5 For every high priest taken from among men (A)is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. 2 He can [a]have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to (B)weakness. 3 Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for (C)himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. 4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as (D)Aaron was.
A Priest Forever
5 (E)So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him:
(F)“You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.”
6 As He also says in another place:
(G)“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek”;
7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had (H)offered up prayers and supplications, (I)with vehement cries and tears to Him (J)who was able to save Him from death, and was heard (K)because of His godly fear, 8 though He was a Son, yet He learned (L)obedience by the things which He suffered. 9 And (M)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 10 called by God as High Priest (N)“according to the order of Melchizedek,” 11 of whom (O)we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become (P)dull of hearing.
Spiritual Immaturity
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the [b]oracles of God; and you have come to need (Q)milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is (R)a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are [c]of full age, that is, those who by reason of [d]use have their senses exercised (S)to discern both good and evil.

5 For gar every pas high priest archiereus, being chosen lambanō from among ek men anthrōpos, is appointed kathistēmi on behalf of hyper men anthrōpos to represent them in matters ho related to pros · ho God theos, to hina offer prospherō gifts dōron and kai sacrifices thusia for hyper sins hamartia. 2 He is able dynamai to deal compassionately metriopatheō with the ho ignorant agnoeō and kai going astray planaō, since epei he autos too kai is subject to perikeimai weakness astheneia. 3 · kai That is why dia he is obligated opheilō to offer prospherō sacrifice for peri his own autos sins hamartia, just as kathōs he does for peri the sins of the ho people laos. · kai 4 And kai no ou one tis takes lambanō this ho honor timē on his own accord heautou, but alla receives it when called kaleō by hypo · ho God theos, just as kathōsper Aaron Aarōn also kai was.
