Hebrews 5:11

Read in context

Hebrews 5:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 And having been made perfect, He became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey Him

10 and was designated by God as high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

11 We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing.

12 Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!

13 For everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness.
