Hebrews 5:12-14
English Standard Version
12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again (A)the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need (B)milk, not solid food, 13 for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is (C)a child. 14 But solid food is for (D)the mature, for those who have their powers (E)of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.

New International Version
12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths(A) of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!(B) 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,(C) is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature,(D) who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.(E)
