12In 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!

12In fact, though by now you should be teachers, you still need someone to teach you the basic truths of God's word. You have become people who need milk instead of solid food.

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

13For everyone who lives on milk is still a baby and does not yet know the difference between right and wrong.

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

14But solid food is for mature people, whose minds are trained by practice to distinguish good from evil.
