Hebrews 5:9-14
New King James Version
9 And (A)having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, 10 called by God as High Priest (B)“according to the order of Melchizedek,” 11 of whom (C)we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become (D)dull of hearing.
Spiritual Immaturity
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the [a]oracles of God; and you have come to need (E)milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is (F)a babe. 14 But solid food belongs to those who are [b]of full age, that is, those who by reason of [c]use have their senses exercised (G)to discern both good and evil.
