NET Bible
"But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil."
— Hebrews 5:14, NET Bible
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. ”
“But solid food is for fullgrown men, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. ”
“But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.”
“But strong meat is for the perfect: for them who by custom have their senses exercised to the discerning of good and evil. ”
“But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.”
“But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. ”
The Need to Move on to Maturity On this topic we have much to say and it is difficult to explain, since you have become sluggish in hearing.
For though you should in fact be teachers by this time, you need someone to teach you the beginning elements of God’s utterances. You have gone back to needing milk, not solid food.
For everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced in the message of righteousness, because he is an infant.
But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.
