Hebrews 5:11-14

Warning Against Apostasy

11About this we have much to say, and it is jhard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing. 12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again kthe basic principles of the oracles of God. You need lmilk, not solid food, 13for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is ma child. 14But solid food is for nthe mature, for those who have their powers oof discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
