Hebrews 5:11-12

AUV(i) 11 [Now] we have many things to say about Melchizedek, but because of your slowness to grasp things, they are hard to explain. 12 For certainly enough time has elapsed so that [by now] you ought to be teachers, [but instead] you are in need of having someone teach you again the basic principles of God’s message. You have become people who need “milk” and not “solid food.” [Note: The fundamental truths of Christianity are here figuratively spoken of as “milk,” while the more advanced teaching, such as Christ’s priesthood being like Melchizedek’s, is called “solid food”].
