For whereas, considering the time that has elapsed, you ought to be teaching others, you still need some one to teach you the alphabet of the divine revelation, and need again to be fed with ‘milk’ instead of with ‘solid food.’
Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Denn da ihr der Zeit nach Lehrer sein solltet, bedürfet ihr wiederum, daß man euch lehre, welches die Elemente des Anfangs der Aussprüche Gottes sind; und ihr seid solche geworden, die der Milch bedürfen und nicht der festen Speise.

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.

Pois, pelo tempo, vós já devíeis ser mestres; porém novamente tendes necessidade de serdes ensinados os princípios básicos das palavras de Deus; e vos fizestes como se precisásseis de leite, e não de alimento sólido.

Embora a esta altura vós já deveríeis ser mestres, ainda é necessário que alguém vos ensine os princípios básicos da Palavra de Deus. Vós necessitais de leite, não de alimento sólido.
📖 Hebrews 5:12 in Context
10Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
12For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
14But 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.
