| King James Version (KJV) |
New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
|
1 Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
|
|
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant , and on them that are out of the way ; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.
|
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
|
|
3 And by reason hereof he ought , as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
|
3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
