Hebrews 5:14
_ _ strong meat — “solid food.”
_ _ them ... of full age — literally, “perfect”: akin to “perfection” (Hebrews 6:1).
_ _ by reason of use — Greek, “habit.”
_ _ senses — organs of sense.
_ _ exercised — similarly connected with “righteousness” in Hebrews 12:11.
_ _ to discern both good and evil — as a child no longer an infant (Isaiah 7:16): so able to distinguish between sound and unsound doctrine. The mere child puts into its mouth things hurtful and things nutritious, without discrimination: but not so the adult. Paul again alludes to their tendency not to discriminate, but to be carried about by strange doctrines, in Hebrews 13:9. |
