דתניא אשר לו משלו הוא מביא ולא משל ציבור יכול לא יביא משל ציבור שאין הציבור מתכפרין בו אבל יביא משל אחיו הכהנים שהרי אחיו הכהנים מתכפרים בו ת"ל אשר לו

i.e., he shall bring it from wha belongs to him, for it was taught 'which is of himself', that means he must bring it of his own possession, not from community funds. One might have assumed he must not bring it from community funds, because the congregation obtains no atonement therefrom, but he may bring it from the funds of his fellow-priests, because they do obtain atonement therefrom, therefore Scripture says: 'which is of himself'.
