³ “‘If the anointed priest^(A) sins,^(B) bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the Lord a young bull^(C) without defect^(D) as a sin offering^[a](E) for the sin he has committed.^(F)

¹⁴ Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned^(A) for by sacrifice or offering.’”

³ This is why he has to offer sacrifices for his own sins, as well as for the sins of the people.^{(A) 4} And no one takes this honor on himself, but he receives it when called by God, just as Aaron was.^(B)

⁵ In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory^(C) of becoming a high priest.^(D) But God said^(E) to him,

²⁷ Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices^(A) day after day, first for his own sins,^(B) and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all^(C) when he offered himself.^(D)
