Hebrews 5:8 (NET) New English Translation

1 For every high priest is taken from among the people and appointed to represent them before God, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to deal compassionately with those who are ignorant and erring, since he also is subject to weakness,
3 and for this reason he is obligated to make sin offerings for himself as well as for the people.
4 And no one assumes this honor on his own initiative, but only when called to it by God, as in fact Aaron was.
5 So also Christ did not glorify himself in becoming high priest, but the one who glorified him was God, who said to him, "You are my Son! Today I have fathered you,"
6 as also in another place God says, "You are a priest forever in the order of Melchizedek."
7 During his earthly life Christ offered both requests and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to the one who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his devotion.
8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience through the things he suffered.
9 And by being perfected in this way, he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him,
10 and he was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11 On this topic we have much to say and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing.
12 For though you should in fact be teachers by this time, you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God's utterances. You have gone back to needing milk, not solid food.
13 For everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced in the message of righteousness, because he is an infant.
14 But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.
1 For G1063 CONJ every G3956 A-NSM high priest G749 N-NSM taken G2983 V-PPP-NSM from among G1537 PREP men G444 N-GPM is ordained G2525 V-PPI-3S for G5228 PREP men G444 N-GPM in things G3588 T-APN pertaining to G4314 PREP God G2316 N-ASM , that G2443 CONJ he may offer G4374 V-PAS-3S both G5037 PRT gifts G1435 N-APN and G2532 CONJ sacrifices G2378 N-APF for G5228 PREP sins G266 N-GPF :
2 Who can G1410 V-PNP-NSM have compassion G3356 V-PAN on the G3588 T-DPM ignorant G50 V-PAP-DPM , and G2532 CONJ on them that are out of the way G4105 V-PPP-DPM ; for that G1893 CONJ he G846 P-NSM himself also G2532 CONJ is compassed with G4029 V-PNI-3S infirmity G769 N-ASF .
3 And G2532 CONJ by reason hereof G1223 PREP he ought G3784 V-PAI-3S , as G2531 ADV for G4012 PREP the G3588 T-GSM people G2992 N-GSM , so G3779 ADV also G2532 CONJ for G4012 PREP himself G1438 F-3GSM , to offer G4374 V-PAN for G5228 PREP sins G266 N-GPF .
4 And G2532 CONJ no man G5100 X-NSM taketh G2983 V-PAI-3S this honor G5092 N-ASF unto himself G1438 F-3DSM , but G235 CONJ he that is called G2564 V-PPP-NSM of G3588 T-GSM God G2316 N-GSM , as G2509 ADV was CONJ Aaron G2532 CONJ .
5 So G3779 ADV also G2532 CONJ Christ G5547 N-NSM glorified G1392 V-AAI-3S not G3756 PRT-N himself G1438 F-3ASM to be made G1096 V-AON a high priest G749 N-ASM ; but G235 CONJ he that said G2980 V-AAP-NSM unto G4314 PREP him G846 P-ASM , Thou G4771 P-2NS art G1488 V-PXI-2S my G3450 P-1GS Son G5207 N-NSM , today G4594 ADV have I G1473 P-1NS begotten G1080 V-RAI-1S thee G4571 P-2AS .
6 As G2531 ADV he saith G3004 V-PAI-3S also G2532 CONJ in G1722 PREP another G2087 A-DSM place , Thou G4771 P-2NS art a priest G2409 N-NSM forever G1519 PREP after G2596 PREP the G3588 T-ASF order G5010 N-ASF of Melchizedek G3198 N-PRI .
7 Who G3739 R-NSM in G1722 PREP the G3588 T-DPF days G2250 N-DPF of G3588 T-GSF his G3588 T-GSF flesh G4561 N-GSF , when he had offered up G4374 V-AAP-NSM prayers G1162 N-APF and G2532 CONJ supplications G2428 N-APF with G3326 PREP strong G2478 A-GSF crying G2906 N-GSF and G2532 CONJ tears G1144 N-GPN unto G4314 PREP him that was able G1410 V-PNP-ASM to save G4982 V-PAN him G846 P-GSM from G1537 PREP death G2288 N-GSM , and G2532 CONJ was heard G1522 V-APP-NSM in that he feared G2124 N-GSF ;
8 Though G2539 CONJ he were G5607 V-PXP-NSM a Son G5207 N-NSM , yet learned G3129 V-2AAI-3S he obedience G5218 N-ASF by G575 PREP the things which G3739 R-GPN he suffered G3958 V-2AAI-3S ;
9 And G2532 CONJ being made perfect G5048 V-APP-NSM , he became G1096 V-2ADI-3S the author G159 A-NSM of eternal G166 A-GSF salvation G4991 N-GSF unto all G3956 A-DPM them that obey G5219 V-PAP-DPM him G846 P-DSM ;
10 Called G4316 V-APP-NSM of G3588 T-GSM God G2316 N-GSM a high priest G749 N-NSM after G2596 PREP the G3588 T-ASF order G5010 N-ASF of Melchizedek G3198 N-PRI .
11 Of G4012 PREP whom G3739 R-GSM we G2254 P-1DP have many things to say G4183 A-NSM , and G2532 CONJ hard G1421 A-NSM to be uttered G3004 V-PAN , seeing G1893 CONJ ye are G1096 V-2RAI-2P dull G3576 A-NPM of hearing G189 N-DPF .
12 For G1063 CONJ when G2532 CONJ for G1223 PREP the G3588 T-ASM time G5550 N-ASM ye ought G3784 V-PAP-NPM to be G1511 V-PXN teachers G1320 N-NPM , ye have G2192 V-PAI-2P need G5532 N-ASF that one teach G1321 V-PAN you G5209 P-2AP again G3825 ADV which G5101 I-NPN be the G3588 T-GSF first G746 N-GSF principles G4747 N-NPN of G3588 T-GPN the G3588 T-GPN oracles G3051 N-GPN of God G2316 N-GSM ; and G2532 CONJ are become G1096 V-2RAI-2P such as have G2192 V-PAP-NPM need G5532 N-ASF of milk G1051 N-GSN , and G2532 CONJ not G3756 PRT-N of strong meat G4731 A-GSF .
13 For G1063 CONJ every one G3956 A-NSM that useth G3348 V-PAP-NSM milk G1051 N-GSN is unskillfull G552 A-NSM in the word G3056 N-GSM of righteousness G1343 N-GSF : for G1063 CONJ he is G2076 V-PXI-3S a babe G3516 A-NSM .
14 But G1161 CONJ strong meat G4731 A-NSF belongeth G2076 V-PXI-3S to them that are of full age G5046 A-GPM , even those G3588 T-ASF who G3588 T-ASF by reason of G3588 T-ASF use G1838 N-ASF have G2192 V-PAP-GPM their senses G145 N-APN exercised G1128 V-RPP-APN to G4314 PREP discern G1253 N-ASF both G5037 PRT good G2570 A-GSN and G2532 CONJ evil G2556 A-GSN .
