Hebrews 5:12–6:3

¹²For though ¹by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you ^athe ^2belementary principles of the ^coracles of God, and you have come to need ^dmilk and not solid food.

¹³For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an ^ainfant.

¹⁴But solid food is for ^athe mature, who because of practice have their senses ^btrained to ^cdiscern good and evil.

Chapter 6

The Peril of Falling Away

¹Therefore ^aleaving ^bthe ¹elementary teaching about the ²Christ, let us press on to ^3cmaturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from ^ddead works and of faith toward God,

²of ^ainstruction about washings and ^blaying on of hands, and the ^cresurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

³And this we will do, ^aif God permits.
