King James Version

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
New King James Version

For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
New American Standard Bible

For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is a babe.
New International Version

Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.
The Amplified Bible

For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will in purpose, thought and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]!
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

For everyone whose sole diet is milk, is inexperienced in a message which is righteous in quality, for he is a [spiritually] immature person.
Phillips’ Modern English

For anyone who continues to live on “milk” is unable to digest what is right – he simply has not grown up.
Williams’ Language of the People

For everyone who uses milk alone is inexperienced in the message of right-doing; he is only an infant.
KJV with Strong’s Numbers

For 1063 every one 3956 that useth 3348 milk 1051 is unskilful 552 in the word 3056 of righteousness: 1343 for 1063 he is 2076 a babe. 3516

  5. The Duplicity of Popularity - Neil Girrard - ( in Adobe/pdf format ) The success of a “pastor” or “church” is measured almost entirely in its popularity but is this a good standard by which to judge a man or “ministry”?

  7. God’s Approval - Neil Girrard God’s approval on our life and on our work in His kingdom is no light and trivial matter.

  13. One Small Hiccup: Chip Brogden’s The Church in the Wilderness - Neil Girrard - ( in Adobe/pdf format ) A nearly flawless work of spiritual insights and wisdom is unfortunately marred by one expression of the author’s opinions – but don’t let that stop you from buying or reading the book for yourself!

  14. Opening Spiritual Ears - Neil Girrard - ( in Adobe/pdf format ) The ear that hears what God is saying is one of the most important things that accompany salvation. So why is this truth so often explained away or ridiculed?

  15. The Perfect Church - Neil Girrard All those who subscribe to the “church” paradigm believe they have their hands on the whole counsel of God - yet, it is precisely this blind grip on partial truths that gives the “church” paradigm its lethal power over those who believe in it.

  17. Preaching Christ in a Post-Christian Society - Neil Girrard There may befall the preacher of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ no harder task than to preach His name, His truth, His story to a people who have already heard “all that,” digested “all that,” done “all that,” rejected “all that.”

  21. 8. Surmounting Three Major Obstacles; The Unfinished Reformation - An Analysis - Neil Girrard Morrison again looks ahead to “a united church,” offering his ideas (compiled in the late 1940s) as to how to overcome what he saw as three major obstacles to “ecumenical unity.”

  22. To Be or Not To Be - Neil Girrard Amazingly, this is the simple question before each individual who claims to follow Christ in this tumultuous, confused and confusing time the New Testament calls the end of the age.

  23. What’s In a Title? - Neil Girrard What’s in a title? More than most bargain for.

  24. Why We Gather - Neil Girrard Why we first went to “church” is as important a question to answer as is why we left it.
