希伯来书
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

第五章

1 每一个大祭司都是从人间选出来，奉派替人办理与　神有关的事，为的是要献上礼物和赎罪的祭物。
2 他能够温和地对待那些无知和迷误的人，因为他自己也被软弱所困。
3 因此，他怎样为人民的罪献祭，也应该怎样为自己的罪献祭。
4 没有人可以自己取得这大祭司的尊荣，只有像亚伦一样，蒙　神选召的才可以。
5 照样，基督也没有自己争取作大祭司的尊荣，而是曾经对他说：“你是我的儿子，我今日生了你”的　神荣耀了他；
6 就像他在另一处说：“你是照着麦基洗德的体系，永远作祭司的。”
7 基督在世的时候，曾经流泪大声祷告恳求那位能救他脱离死亡的　神；因着他的敬虔，就蒙了应允。
8 他虽然是儿子，还是因着所受的苦难学会了顺从。
9 他既然顺从到底，就成了所有顺从他的人得到永远救恩的根源；
10 而且蒙　神照着麦基洗德的体系，称他为大祭司。

劝勉信徒要长大成人
11 论到这些事，我们有很多话要说，可是很难解释；因为你们已经迟钝了，听不进去。
12 到这个时候，你们应该已经作老师了；可是你们还需要有人再把　神道理的初步教导你们。你们成了只能吃奶而不能吃干粮的人！
13 凡是吃奶的，还是个婴孩，对公义的道理没有经历；
14 只有长大成人的，才能吃干粮，他们的官能因为操练纯熟，就能分辨是非了。

Hebrews


1 Every high priest is selected from among men and is appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.
2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray, since he himself is subject to weakness.
3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.
4 No one takes this honor upon himself; he must be called by God, just as Aaron was.
5 So Christ also did not take upon himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father."
6 And he says in another place, "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
7 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission.
8 Although he was a son, he learned obedience from what he suffered
9 and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
10 and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek.
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain because you are slow to learn.
12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God's word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
