Hebrews 5:9-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

9. and when he was made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him,

10. declared by God high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

11. About this we have much to say, and it is difficult to explain, for you have become sluggish in hearing.

12. Although you should be teachers by this time, you need to have someone teach you again the basic elements of the utterances of God. You need milk, [and] not solid food.

13. Everyone who lives on milk lacks experience of the word of righteousness, for he is a child.

14. But solid food is for the mature, for those whose faculties are trained by practice to discern good and evil.
