Hebrews 5:12
“For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the basic principles of the oracles of God. You need milk, not solid food,”
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.
