Title: Heb 5:1114 KJV
1Heb 511-14 (KJV) 11 Of whom we have many things
to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are
dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye
ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach
you again which be the first principles of the
oracles of God and are become such as have need
of milk, and not of strong meat.
213 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in
the word of righteousness for he is a babe. 14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of
full age, even those who by reason of use have
their senses exercised to discern both good and
evil.
3Hebrews 61-2 (KJV) Therefore leaving the
principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go
on unto perfection not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of
faith toward God, 2 Of the doctrine of
baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of
resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment

with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Amen.
