I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

I gave you milk to drink instead of solid food, because you weren’t up to it yet.
I gave you milk, not solid food, because you were not yet ready for it. But you aren’t ready for it now either!
So I had to treat you like babies and feed you milk. You could not take solid food, and you still cannot,

I, my brothers, was unable to talk to you as spiritual men: I had to talk to you as unspiritual, as yet babies in the Christian life, And my practice had been to feed you, as it were, with “milk” and not with “meat”. You were unable to digest “meat” in those days, and I don’t believe you can do it now. For you are still unspiritual; all the time that there is jealousy and squabbling among you you show that you are—you are living just like men of the world. While one of you says, “I am one of Paul’s converts” and another says, “I am one of Apollos’”, are you not plainly unspiritual?
I have fed you with milk, and not with solid food, for until now ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.

I have had to feed you with milk and not with solid food because you couldn’t digest anything stronger. And even now you still have to be fed on milk.
But for right now, friends, I’m completely frustrated by your unspiritual dealings with each other and with God. You’re acting like infants in relation to Christ, capable of nothing much more than nursing at the breast. Well, then, I’ll nurse you since you don’t seem capable of anything more. As long as you grab for what makes you feel good or makes you look important, are you really much different than a babe at the breast, content only when everything’s going your way? When one of you says, “I’m on Paul’s side,” and another says, “I’m for Apollos,” aren’t you being totally childish?
I have fed you with milk and not with solid food. For to this day you were not able to endure it. Nor are you able now,
I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,
I gave you milk to drink. I didn’t give you solid food because you weren’t ready for it. Even now you aren’t ready for it
I fed you milk, not solid food, because you were unable to take it. Indeed, you are still not able, even now,
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to consume it. But even now you are not yet able,
I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,
I fed you with milk, rather than with solid food that you were not ready to digest. Indeed, even now you are still not ready to receive it,
The teaching I gave you was like milk, not solid food, because you were not able to take solid food. And even now you are not ready.
I fed you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready. In fact, you are still not ready,
The words I spoke to you were like milk, not like solid food. You weren’t ready for solid food yet. And you still aren’t ready for it.
I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.

I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren’t ready for anything stronger. And you still aren’t ready,
I gave you milk to drink, and not meat. For you were not strong then, no, neither are you yet.
I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready,
I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready,

I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not ready for it; and even yet you are not ready,
I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready. Indeed, even now you are not yet ready,
I nursed you with milk, as a mother would feed her baby, because you were not, and still are not, developed enough to digest complex spiritual food.
I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, you aren’t ready even now,
I gave you milk to drink, not food to eat. You were not ready for food. And even now you are not ready for it.
I gave to you milk to drink, not meat; for ye might not yet understand, neither ye be able to now [but neither now soothly ye be able],
with milk I fed you, and not with meat, for ye were not yet able, but not even yet are ye now able,
