New International Version

Hebrews 5:9-14 New International Version (NIV)

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

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

11. We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand.

12. In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

13. Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.

14. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
