Hebrews 5:12 Context
10Called of God an high Priest after the order of Melchisedec: 11Of whom we haue many things to say, and hard to be vttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12For when for the time yee ought to bee teachers, yee haue neede that one teach you againe which be the first principles of the Oracles of God, and are become such as haue need of milke, and not of strong meat. 13For euery one that vseth milke, is vnskilful in the word of righteousnes: for he is a babe. 14But strong meate belongeth to them that are of full age, euen those who by reason of vse haue their senses exercised to discerne both good and euil.
