13 For every one that partakes of milk [is] unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe;
as newborn babes desire earnestly the pure mental milk of the word, that by it ye may grow up to salvation,
Brethren, be not children in [your] minds, but in malice be babes; but in [your] minds be grown [men].
in order that we may be no longer babes, tossed and carried about by every wind of *that* teaching [which is] in the sleight of men, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized error;
Every scripture [is] divinely inspired, and profitable for teaching, for conviction, for correction, for instruction in righteousness;
At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
Verily I say to you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall in no wise enter into it.
for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith. For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.
For Moses lays down in writing the righteousness which is of the law, The man who has practised those things shall live by them. But the righteousness of faith speaks thus: Do not say in thine heart, Who shall ascend to the heavens? that is, to bring Christ down;
And *I*, brethren, have not been able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly; as to babes in Christ.
For if the ministry of condemnation [be] glory, much rather the ministry of righteousness abounds in glory.

We have here an account of the nature of the priestly office in general, though with an accommodation to the Lord Jesus Christ. We are told,
Hbr 5:10-14
Here the apostle returns to what he had in v. 6 cited out of Ps. 110, concerning the peculiar order of the priesthood of Christ, that is, the order of Melchisedec. And here,
