“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.”
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 — the reproach is sharp: those who should be mature teachers are themselves in need of basic instruction. The contrast between milk and solid food indicates that some readers have regressed spiritually rather than progressed.
