Hebrews 5:12 in Context — Hebrews 5
10 Nombrado de Dios pontífice según el orden de Melchîsedec.
11 Del cual tenemos mucho que decir, y dificultoso de declarar, por cuanto sois flacos para oir.
12 Porque debiendo ser ya maestros á causa del tiempo, tenéis necesidad de volver á ser enseñados cuáles sean los primeros rudimentos de las palabras de Dios; y habéis llegado á ser tales que tengáis necesidad de leche, y no de manjar sólido.
13 Que cualquiera que participa de la leche, es inhábil para la palabra de la justicia, porque es niño;
14 Mas la vianda firme es para los perfectos, para los que por la costumbre tienen los sentidos ejercitados en el discernimiento del bien y del mal.
