Hebrews 5

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Every high priest is chosen from among men. He is appointed to act for them in everything that has to do with God. He offers gifts and sacrifices for their sins.

2 He is able to deal gently with those who have gone down the wrong path without knowing it. He can do that because he himself is weak.

3 That's why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins. He must also do it for the sins of the people.

4 No one can take that honor for himself. He must be appointed by God, just as Aaron was.

5 Even Christ did not take the glory of becoming a high priest for himself. God said to him, "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father." (Psalm 2:7)

6 In another place he said, "You are a priest forever, just like Melchizedek." (Psalm 110:4)

7 Jesus prayed while he lived on earth. He made his appeal with loud cries and tears. He prayed to the One who could save him from death. God heard him because he truly honored God.

8 Jesus was God's Son. But by suffering he learned what it means to obey.

9 In that way he was made perfect. Eternal salvation comes from him. He saves all those who obey him.

10 God appointed him to be the high priest, just like Melchizedek.

11 We have a lot to say about that. But it is hard to explain it to you. You learn too slowly.

12 By this time you should be teachers. But in fact, you need someone to teach you all over again. You need even the simple truths of God's word. You need milk, not solid food.

13 Anyone who lives on milk is still a baby. That person does not want to learn about living a godly life.

14 Solid food is for those who are grown up. They have trained themselves with a lot of practice. They can tell the difference between good and evil.

Wycliffe WYC

1 For each bishop taken of men, is ordained for men in these things that be to God [in those things that be to God], that he offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.

2 Which may together sorrow with them, that be unknowing and err [that know not and err]; for also he is environed with infirmity.

3 And therefore he oweth, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

4 Neither any man taketh to him honour, but he that is called of God, as Aaron was.

5 So [and] Christ clarified not himself, that he were bishop, but he that spake to him, Thou art my Son, to day I engendered thee [to day I gendered thee].

6 As [and] in another place he saith, Thou art a priest without end [Thou art a priest into without end], after the order of Melchisedec.

7 Which in the days of his flesh offered, with great cry and tears, prayers and beseechings to him that might make him safe from death, and was heard for his reverence.

8 And when he was God's Son, he learned obedience of these things that he suffered;

9 and he brought to the end is made cause of everlasting health [and he led to perfection is made cause of everlasting health] to all that obey him,

10 and is called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchisedec. [called of God a bishop, by the order of Melchisedec.]

11 Of whom there is to us a great word for to say, and able to be expounded, for ye be made feeble to hear.

12 For when ye ought to be masters for a time, again ye need that ye be taught, which be the letters of the beginning of God's words [which be the elements, or letters, of the beginning of God's words]. And ye be made those, to whom is need of milk, and not [of] firm meat.

13 For each that is partner of milk, is without part of the word of rightwiseness, for he is a little child.

14 But of perfect men is firm meat, of them that for custom have [their] wits exercised to discretion of good and of evil [of good and evil].
