Hebrews 5:13

But every one whose food is milk is not versed in the doctrine of righteousness, because he is a babe.

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

In The King James Version

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

In Context

12For ye ought to be teachers, on account of the time by you in learning; but now ye have need again to be taught those which are the first scriptures of the beginningwords of Aloha; and need have ye for milk, and not for solid food.

14But for the perfect is solid food; those, (namely,) who, because exercised, have trained their senses to distinguish the good and the evil.
