Hebrews 5:12

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food!
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the oracles of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food.
World English Bible (WEB)
For{G2532}{G1063} when for{G1223} the time{G5550} ye ought{G3784}{(G5723)} to be{G1511}{(G5750)} teachers{G1320}, ye have{G2192}{(G5719)} need{G5532} that one teach{G1321}{(G5721)} you{G5209} again{G3825} which{G5101} be the first{G746} principles{G4747} of the oracles{G3051} of God{G2316}; and{G2532} are become such as{G1096}{(G5754)} have{G2192}{(G5723)} need{G5532} of milk{G1051}, and{G2532} not{G3756} of strong{G4731} meat{G5160}.
Strong's King James
(12) For by this time you should be teachers! You have need again for someone to teach you the elements of the beginning of יהוה YAHWEH's sayings and have come to need milk and not solid food.
The F.O.G*
[12] By this point in your spiritual journey, you should be teaching others these deep truths. Instead, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God's word all over again. You're like infants needing milk instead of adults ready for solid spiritual food!
The F.O.G Paraphrase
for even owing to be teachers, because of the time, again ye have need that one teach you what are the elements of the beginning of the oracles of God, and ye have become having need of milk, and not of strong food,
Young's Literal Translation
