Hebrews 5:8-14

New International Version

⁸ Son^(A) though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered^{(B) 9} and, once made perfect,^(C) he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him ¹⁰ and was designated by God to be high priest^(D) in the order of Melchizedek.^(E)

Warning Against Falling Away^(F)

¹¹ We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. ¹² In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths^(G) of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!^{(H) 13} Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant,^(I) is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. ¹⁴ But solid food is for the mature,^(J) who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.^(K)
