| # Chapter 5
| For every chief priest -- out of men taken -- in behalf of men is set in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins,
| able to be gentle to those ignorant and going astray, since himself also is compassed with infirmity;
| and because of this infirmity he ought, as for the people, so also for himself to offer for sins;
| and no one to himself doth take the honour, but he who is called by God, as also Aaron:
| so also the Christ did not glorify himself to become chief priest, but He who spake unto him: 'My Son thou art, I to-day have begotten thee;'
| as also in another [place] He saith, 'Thou [art] a priest -- to the age, according to the order of Melchisedek;'
| who in the days of his flesh both prayers and supplications unto Him who was able to save him from death -- with strong crying and tears -- having offered up, and having been heard in respect to that which he feared,
| through being a Son, did learn by the things which he suffered -- the obedience,
| and having been made perfect, he did become to all those obeying him a cause of salvation age-during,
| having been addressed by God a chief priest, according to the order of Melchisedek,
| concerning whom we have much discourse and of hard explanation to say, since ye have become dull of hearing,
| for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what [are] the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,
| for every one who is partaking of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness -- for he is an infant,
| and of perfect men is the strong food, who because of the use are having the senses exercised, unto the discernment both of good and of evil.
