(KJV) Hebrews 51

<< Hebrews 4 Hebrews 6 >>

The Perfect High Priest[ Psalms 110:1–7 ]

[1] For every2 high priest taken from among men is ordained3 for men4 in things [pertaining] to God, that he may offer both5 gifts and sacrifices for sins: [2] Who6 can have compassion on7 the ignorant8, and on them9 that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed10 with infirmity. [3] And by reas11on 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.12 [5] So also Christ13 glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou14 art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. [6] As he saith also in another [place], Thou15 [art] a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec16. [7] Who in the17 days of his flesh, when18 he had offered up prayers and supplications with19 strong crying and tears20 unto21 him that was able to save him from death, and22 was heard in that he feared23; [8] Though he were24 a Son, yet25 learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; [9] And being26 made perfect, he became27 the author of eternal28 salvation unto29 all them that obey him; [10] Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.30

Milk and Solid Food[ 1 Corinthians 3:1–9 ]

[11] Of whom we31 have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull32 of hearing. [12] For when for the33 time ye ought to be teach34ers35, ye have need that one teach you again which [be] the first36 principles of the oracles37 of God; and are become such as have38 need of milk, and not of strong meat. [13] For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful39 in the40 word41 of righteousness: for he is a babe. [14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age42, [even] those who by reason of use43 have their44 senses exercised to discern45 both good and evil.
