Hebrews 5:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible
2 Which is [a]able sufficiently to have compassion [b]on them that are ignorant, and that are out of the way, because that he also is [c]compassed with infirmity,
3 And for the same sake he is bound to offer for sins, as well for his own part, as for the peoples.
4 (A)[d]And no man taketh this honor unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

2 He is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray,(A) since he himself is subject to weakness.(B) 3 This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.(C) 4 And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.(D)
