Hebrews 5:11-6:3
11
About this we have much to say, and it is c hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
12
For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again d the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need e milk, not solid food,
13
for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is f a child.
14
But solid food is for g the mature, for those who have their powers h of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
Hebrews 6
1
Therefore i let us leave j the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance k from dead works and of faith toward God,
2
and of l instruction about washings, m the laying on of hands, n the resurrection of the dead, and o eternal judgment.
3
And this we will do p if God permits.
