The Book of Hebrews 5 |
The Douay-Rheims Version Online Bible (DRV) |
Hebrews 5:1 | For every high priest taken from among men, is ordained for men in the things that appertain to God, that he may offer up gifts and sacrifices for sins: |
Hebrews 5:2 | Who can have compassion on them that are ignorant and that err: because he himself also is compassed with infirmity. |
Hebrews 5:3 | And therefore he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. |
Hebrews 5:4 | Neither doth any man take the honour to himself, but he that is called by God, as Aaron was. |
Hebrews 5:5 | So Christ also did not glorify himself, that he might be made a high priest: but he that said unto him: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. |
Hebrews 5:6 | As he saith also in another place: Thou art a priest for ever, according to the order of Melchisedech. |
Hebrews 5:7 | Who in the days of his flesh, with a strong cry and tears, offering up prayers and supplications to him that was able to save him from death, was heard for his reverence. |
Hebrews 5:8 | And whereas indeed he was the Son of God, he learned obedience by the things which he suffered: |
Hebrews 5:9 | And being consummated, he became, to all that obey him, the cause of eternal salvation. |
Hebrews 5:10 | Called by God a high priest according to the order of Melchisedech. |
Hebrews 5:11 | Of whom we have much to say, and hard to be intelligibly uttered: because you are become weak to hear. |
Hebrews 5:12 | For whereas for the time you ought to be masters, you have need to be taught again what are the first elements of the words of God: and you are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. |
Hebrews 5:13 | For every one that is a partaker of milk, is unskillful in the word of justice: for he is a little child. |
Hebrews 5:14 | But strong meat is for the perfect; for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil. |
