| [1]For every high priest who is from among men, on the behalf of men, standeth over those things which are of Aloha, to offer oblation and sacrifices for sins: |
[No book] |
| [2]And [is one] who can humble himself, and suffer with those who know not and err, since he also himself with infirmity is clothed. |
[No book] |
| [3]And on this account he is obligated as on the behalf of the people, so [also] for himself, to offer up for his sins. |
[No book] |
| [4]Yet no man to himself taketh the honour, but he who is called by Aloha, as of Aharun.ⓘ |

| [5]Thus also the Meshiha glorified not himself to be a High Priest; but He [invested him with that office] who said to him, Thou art my Son, I to-day have begotten thee. |
[No book] |
| [6]So, too, in another place he saith, Thou art the Priest for ever, after the likeness of Malki-Zedek. |

| [7]When also with flesh he had been clothed, prayer and supplication, with a powerful cry, and with tears, he offered up unto Him who was able from death to revive him, and was heard. |
[No book] |
| [8]And though he was the Son, yet from the fear and the sufferings which he sustained he learned obedience. |
[No book] |
| [9]And so was he perfected, and became unto all them who obey him the Cause of eternal salvation; |
[No book] |
| [10]And was named by God, The High Priest after the likeness of Malki-Zedek. |
[No book] |
| [11]But concerning this Malki-Zedek himself, we have much discourse to utter, and [which is] hard to explain, because ye are infirm in your hearing. |
[No book] |
| [12]FOR ye ought to be teachers, on account of the time [occupied] by you in learning; but now ye have need again to be taught those which are the first scriptures of the beginningwords of Aloha; and need have ye for milk, and not for solid food. |
[No book] |
| [13]But every one whose food is milk is not versed in the doctrine of righteousness, because he is a babe. |
[No book] |
| [14]But for the perfect is solid food; those, [namely,] who, because exercised, have trained their senses to distinguish the good and the evil. |
