Hebrews 5:11-14
Lexham English Bible
Advanced Teaching Hindered by Immaturity
11 Concerning this[a] we have much to say and it is difficult to explain[b], since you have become sluggish in hearing. 12 For indeed, although you[c] ought to be teachers by this time[d], you have need of someone to teach you again the beginning elements of the oracles of God, and you have need of[e] milk, not[f] solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes of milk is unacquainted with the message of righteousness, because he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have trained their faculties for the distinguishing of both good and evil.
