But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Where you find this verse
From this verse, the Word reaches
In parallel with1 Corinthians 2:6
Paul also reserves his wisdom teaching for the full grown, the same distinction Hebrews draws.
“We speak wisdom, however, among those who are full grown; yet a wisdom not of this world, nor of the rulers of this world, who are coming to nothing.Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:”
The same threadJohn 16:12
Growing up into solid food is the answer to the things Jesus said they could not yet bear.
““I have yet many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”
That reaches back to this verse
The same thread (this verse)John 16:12
What is withheld is not withheld forever; maturity, exercised by use, is what opens the solid food.
““I have yet many things to tell you, but you can’t bear them now.I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.”
