Hebrews 5:9-12

9As a result, Jesus became the person who can save everyone who obeys him. Because of Jesus, God forgives their sins for ever.

10God has chosen Jesus to be his special priest in the same way that Melchizedek was.

11We have a lot more to say to you about these things. But you are slow to understand things. As a result, it is difficult to explain any more to you now.

12After all this time as believers in Jesus, you ought to be teachers. Instead of that, you still need someone to teach you the first lessons about God's message. You have become like babies, who need milk instead of proper food.
