Hebrews 5:13

Webster Bible

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 when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need of one to teach you again which are the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong food.

14But strong food belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
