Hebrews 5:12-14
Amplified Bible
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food. 13 For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. 14 But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.

The Voice
12 By this time, you ought to be teachers yourselves, yet I feel like you want me to reteach you the most basic things that God wants you to know. It’s almost like you’re a baby again, coddled at your mother’s breast, nursing, not ready for solid food. 13 No one who lives on milk alone can know the ins and outs of what it means to be righteous and pursue justice; that’s because he is only a baby. 14 But solid food is for those who have come of age, for those who have learned through practice to distinguish good from evil.

The Message
Re-Crucifying Jesus
11-14 I have a lot more to say about this, but it is hard to get it across to you since you’ve picked up this bad habit of not listening. By this time you ought to be teachers yourselves, yet here I find you need someone to sit down with you and go over the basics on God again, starting from square one—baby’s milk, when you should have been on solid food long ago! Milk is for beginners, inexperienced in God’s ways; solid food is for the mature, who have some practice in telling right from wrong.

Nueva Biblia de las Américas
12 Pues aunque ya[a] debieran ser maestros, otra vez tienen necesidad de que alguien les enseñe los principios(A) elementales[b](B) de los oráculos[c] de Dios(C), y han llegado a tener necesidad de leche(D) y no de alimento sólido. 13 Porque todo el que toma solo leche, no está acostumbrado a la palabra de justicia, porque es niño(E). 14 Pero el alimento sólido es para los adultos[d](F), los cuales por la práctica tienen los sentidos ejercitados(G) para discernir el bien y el mal(H).
