Hebrews 5 — WBMSE

See Hebrew/Greek in BSB →

5Verse 1For each bishop taken of men (or For every high priest taken from among men), is ordained for men in these things that be to God, (so) that he offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.Verse 2Which may together sorrow with them (or Who can feel compassion for those), that be uncunning, (or unknowing, or ignorant), and err; for also he is environed with infirmity.Verse 3And therefore he oweth (or And so he ought), as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.Verse 4Neither any man taketh to him honour, but he that is called of God, as Aaron was.Verse 5So Christ clarified not himself, that he were bishop, but he that spake to him, Thou art my Son, today I (en)gendered thee. (So the Messiah did not glorify himself, so that he became High Priest, but he who spoke to him, and said, Thou art my Son, today I begat thee.)Verse 6As in another place he saith, Thou art a priest [into] without end, after the order of Melchisedec, (or Thou art a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek).Verse 7Which in the days of his flesh offered, with great cry and tears, prayers and beseechings to him that might make him safe from death (or prayers and beseechings to him who could save him from death), and was heard for his reverence.Verse 8And when he was God’s Son, he learned obedience of these things that he suffered;Verse 9and he brought to the end [or he led to perfection] is made (the) cause of everlasting health to all that obey him, (and he brought to perfection is made the Source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,)Verse 10and is called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchisedec. (and is named the High Priest by God, in the order of Melchizedek.)Verse 11Of whom there is to us a great word for to say, and able to be expounded, for ye be made feeble to hear.Verse 12For when ye ought to be masters for a time (or For although ye ought to be teachers by this time), again ye need that ye be taught, which be the letters [or the elements] of the beginning of God’s words. And ye be made those, to whom is need of milk, and not [of] firm meat (or of solid food).Verse 13For each that is (a) partner of milk, is without (a) part (or a portion) of the word of rightwiseness, for he is (but) a little child.Verse 14But of perfect men is firm meat, of them that for custom have [their] wits exercised to (the) discretion of good and of evil. (But for grown men there is solid food, yea, for those who by custom have their minds, or their thoughts, exercised by the discretion of good and of evil.)
