Hebrews 5:11-14
Legacy Standard Bible
11 Concerning [a]him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12 For though [b]by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you (A)the [c](B)elementary principles of the (C)oracles of God, and you have come to need (D)milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an (E)infant. 14 But solid food is for (F)the [d]mature, who because of practice have their senses (G)trained to (H)discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:11-14
Common English Bible
11 We have a lot to say about this topic, and it’s difficult to explain, because you have been lazy and you haven’t been listening. 12 Although you should have been teachers by now, you need someone to teach you an introduction to the basics about God’s message. You have come to the place where you need milk instead of solid food. 13 Everyone who lives on milk is not used to the word of righteousness, because they are babies. 14 But solid food is for the mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between good and evil.
