Hebrews 5:9

Hebrews 5:9

7 who, in the days of His flesh, when He had ^aoffered up prayers and supplications, ^bwith vehement cries and tears to Him ^cwho was able to save Him from death, and was heard ^dbecause of His godly fear,

8 though He was a Son, yet He learned ^aobedience by the things which He suffered.

9 And ^ahaving been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him,

10 called by God as High Priest ^a“according to the order of Melchizedek,”

11 of whom ^awe have much to say, and hard to explain, since you have become ^bdull of hearing.

Spiritual Immaturity

12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the¹ oracles of God; and you have come to need ^amilk and not solid food.

13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is ^aa babe.

14 But solid food belongs to those who are¹ of full age, that is, those who by reason of² use have their senses exercised ^ato discern both good and evil.
