Hebrews 5:11-14

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.

1 Corinthians 3:2

2 I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.

Ephesians 4:14

14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

1 Peter 2:2

2 Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,
