- Chapter 5 -

(Psalm 110:1–7)
1
For every high priest, chosen from among people, is appointed to act on the behalf of people in the things concerning God, so that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2
He can deal gently with the ignorant and the wayward because he himself also is surrounded with weakness.
3
Because of this, he also is required to offer sacrifices for his own sins, just as he does for the people’s sins.
4
And it is not for himself that anyone takes this honor. Instead, he is called by God, just as Aaron was.
5
In the same way, neither did Christ honor himself by making himself high priest. Instead, the one speaking to him said, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”
6
It is just as he also says in another place, "You are a priest forever after the manner of Melchizedek.”
7
During the days of his flesh, Christ offered up both prayers and requests with loud cries and tears to God, the one able to save him from death. He was heard because of his piety.
8
Even though he was a son, he learned obedience from the things that he suffered.
9
He was made perfect and became, for everyone who obeys him, the cause of eternal salvation.
10
He was designated by God as high priest after the manner of Melchizedek.

Milk and Solid Food

(1 Corinthians 3:1–9)
11
We have much to say about Jesus, but it is hard to explain since you have become dull in hearing.
12
For though by this time you should be teachers, you still have need for someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s messages. You need milk, not solid food!
13
For anyone who only takes milk is inexperienced with the message of righteousness, because he is still a baby.
14
But solid food is for adults. These are those who because of their maturity have their understanding trained for distinguishing good from evil.

(Psalm 110:1–7)
1
For every high priest, being taken from among men, is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2
The high priest can deal gently with those who are ignorant and going astray, because he himself is also surrounded with weakness.
3
Because of this, he must offer sacrifices for sins for the people, as well as for himself.
4
Nobody takes this honor on himself, but he is called by God, just like Aaron was.
5
So also Christ didn’t glorify himself to be made a high priest, but it was he who said to him, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father.”(a)
6
As he says also in another place, “You are a priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek.”(b)
7
He, in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and petitions with strong crying and tears to him who was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,
8
though he was a Son, yet learned obedience by the things which he suffered.
9
Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation,
10
named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Milk and Solid Food

(1 Corinthians 3:1–9)
11
About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing.
12
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
13
For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby.
14
But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
