² I fed you with ^(A)milk and not with solid food; ^(B)for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able;

¹¹ of whom ^(A)we have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become ^(B)dull of hearing.

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.
