Hebrews 5:12-14
American Standard Version
12 For when by reason of the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need again [a]that some one teach you the rudiments of the [b]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 [c]without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. 14 But solid food is for [d]fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.

Hebrews 5:12-14
New International Version
12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths(A) of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!(B) 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,(C) is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature,(D) who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.(E)
