Hebrews 5:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]Of whom we have many things to say, which are hard to be uttered, because ye are dull of hearing.
12 [b]For when as concerning the time ye ought to be teachers, yet have ye need again that we teach you what are the first principles of the word of God: and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13 For everyone that useth milk, is inexpert in the [c]word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

Warning Against Falling Away(A)
11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. 12 In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths(B) of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!(C) 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,(D) is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
