The Concordant Version

The King James Version

Chapter 5 (CV)

¹ For every chief priest obtained from among men is constituted for men in that which is toward God, that he may be offering both approach presents and sacrifices for sins,
² able to be moderate with the ignorant and straying, since he also is encompassed with infirmity,
³ and because of it he ought, according as for the people, thus for himself also, be offering for sins.
⁴ And not for himself is anyone getting the honor, but on being called by God even as Aaron, also.
⁵ Thus Christ also does not glorify Himself by becoming a chief priest, but He Who speaks to Him, "My Son art Thou! I, today, have begotten Thee,"
⁶ according as in a different place also He is saying, "Thou art a priest for the eon according to the order of Melchizedek,"
⁷ Who, in the days of His flesh, offering both petitions and supplications with strong clamor and tears to Him Who is able to save Him out of death, being hearkened to also for His piety,
⁸ even He also, being a Son, learned obedience from that which He suffered.
⁹ And being perfected, He became the cause of eonian salvation to all who are obeying Him,
¹⁰ being accosted by God "Chief Priest according to the order of Melchizedek,"
¹¹ concerning whom there are words, many and abstruse, for us to say, since you have become dull of hearing.
¹² For when also, because of the time, you ought to be teachers, you have need again of one to teach you what are the rudimentary elements of the oracles of God, and you have come to have need of milk, and not of solid nourishment.
¹³ For everyone who is partaking of milk is untried in the word of righteousness, for he is a minor.
¹⁴ Now solid nourishment is for the mature, who, because of habit, have faculties exercised for discriminating between the ideal and the evil.

Chapter 5 (KJV)

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:
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.
³ And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
⁴ And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.
⁵ So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.
⁶ As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
⁷ Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;
⁸ Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
⁹ And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
¹⁰ Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
¹¹ Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
¹² For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
¹³ For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
¹⁴ But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
