13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.

Hbr 5:10-14
Here the apostle returns to what he had in v. 6 cited out of Ps. 110, concerning the peculiar order of the priesthood of Christ, that is, the order of Melchisedec. And here,
