11About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull in hearing.

12For although by this time you ought to be teachers, you again need someone to teach you the basic elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk, not solid food.

13For everyone who partakes of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

14But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their powers of discernment trained to distinguish both good and evil.
