Hebrews 5:11-14
New King James Version
11 of whom (A)we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become (B)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 (C)milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is (D)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 (E)to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews 5:11-14
American Standard Version
11 Of [a]whom we have many things to say, and hard of interpretation, seeing ye are become dull of hearing. 12 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again [b]that some one teach you the rudiments of the [c]first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food. 13 For every one that partaketh of milk is [d]without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for [e]fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.
