Hebrews 5:8-14 ▼

8 for tho' he was the son of God, yet he found by his own sufferings what it was to obey,

9 and by a perfect obedience he procured eternal salvation for all that obey him;

10 God having declared him an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

11 On this head we have many things to say, not easily to be comprehended, because of your prejudices.

12 for though by this time you ought to be capable of teaching others, you want to be instructed anew in the first principles of the divine oracles; and are in such a state as to stand in need of milk, rather than of solid nourishment.

13 now he that is disciplined like a child, is not prepared for the doctrine of justification:

14 such solid nourishment is only fit for such as are arriv'd at their full growth and strength, whose senses have been exercis'd in distinguishing what is good, and what is prejudicial.
