Hebrews 5:12

---

← Hebrews 5:11	Hebrews 5:12 (KJV)	Hebrews 5:13 →
Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.	For 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.	For every one that useth milk [is] unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
