MODERN LITERAL VERSION - 2026 Update

5:1       For^* every high-priest, being taken out-of men, is designated to act on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in-order-that he should offer both gifts and sacrifices on behalf of sins,

5:2 he who is able to moderate his emotions with the ones who are ignorant and are misled, since he himself is also encompassed with weakness,

5:3 and because of this weakness, just-as he is obligated to offer sacrifices on behalf of sins concerning the people so also concerning himself.

5:4 And not anyone takes the honor for himself, but he who is called by God, just-as also was Aaron.      

5:5 So the Christ also did not glorify himself to become a high-priest, but he who spoke to him, ‘You are my Son; I have fathered you today.’ {Psa 2:7}

5:6 Just-as he also says in a different Scripture, ‘You are a priest forever according-to the order of Melchizedek.’ {Psa 110:4}

5:7 He who, in the days of his flesh, offered up both supplications and prayers with a strong outcry and tears to the one who is able to save him from death and he was heard because of his piety.

5:8 Although being a Son, he learned obedience from the things which he suffered;

5:9 and after he was completed, he became the cause of everlasting salvation to all the ones obeying^* him.

5:10 He was addressed by God, as high-priest according-to the order of Melchizedek.      

5:11 Concerning whom, there is much for us to say in speech (also hard to translate {i.e., simplify} ), since you^° have become dull {Or: sluggish; 6:13} in the ears.

5:12 For^* you^° also ought to be teachers by now because of the time, but you^° again have need of one to teach you^°, as to what are the elemental principles of the beginning oracles of God. And you^° have become ones who have a need of milk and not of solid nourishment.

5:13 For^* everyone who partakes of milk is inexperienced of the word of righteousness, for^* he is an infant.

5:14 But solid nourishment is for the mature ones, from the ones who, through their habit, and their senses have been exercised to the discerning of both good and evil.
