Hebrews 5:9-14 Common English Bible (CEB)

9. After he had been made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for everyone who obeys him.

10. He was appointed by God to be a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

11. We have a lot to say about this topic, and it’s difficult to explain, because you have been lazy and you haven’t been listening.

12. Although you should have been teachers by now, you need someone to teach you an introduction to the basics about God’s message. You have come to the place where you need milk instead of solid food.

13. Everyone who lives on milk is not used to the word of righteousness, because they are babies.

14. But solid food is for the mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between good and evil.
