Hebrews 5:10-13
New American Standard Bible
11Concerning him we have much to say, and it is difficult to explain, since you have become poor listeners.
12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the actual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
13For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.
King James Version
11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
Christian Standard Bible
11We have a great deal to say about this, and it is difficult to explain, since you have become too lazy to understand.
12Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.
13Now everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced with the message about righteousness, because he is an infant.
New Living Translation
11There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen.
12You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food.
13For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right.
English Standard Version
11About this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.
12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,
13for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a child.
New International Version
11We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.
12In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!
13Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
