Hebrews Study Notes—Chapter 5New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)

unacquainted with the word of righteousness: Paul chooses a term (“unacquainted with”) that was often used of those who were novices, or inexperienced. Apparently, those Christians did not fully grasp God’s word because they were not accustomed to applying it in their day-to-day lives. Fittingly, Paul refers to inspired teachings as “the word of righteousness,” for the messages God conveys to humans explain what is right and what is wrong in His eyes.—See study notes on 2Co 5:19; 9:9.
a young child: This expression does not imply that being like “a young child” is always a bad thing. (See study note on 1Co 14:20.) However, in this context, the mention of a young child builds on the illustration about needing milk; it serves to emphasize that the Hebrew Christians had failed to grow, to mature.
