καὶ γὰρ ὀφείλοντες εἶναι διδάσκαλοι διὰ τὸν χρόνον, πάλιν χρείαν ἔχετε τοῦ διδάσκειν ὑμᾶς ⸀τινὰ τὰ στοιχεῖα τῆς ἀρχῆς τῶν λογίων τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ γεγόνατε χρείαν ἔχοντες γάλακτος, ⸀οὐ στερεᾶς τροφῆς.
English Translation
For although you ought to be teachers by this time, you still need someone to teach you the basic principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk, not solid food.
