Warning Against Immaturity
“Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.”
Hebrews 5:11 (KJV)
Commentary on Hebrews 5:11
The author transitions with a rebuke: 'much to say and hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.' The Greek 'nōthroi' (dull/sluggish) indicates spiritual lethargy. This isn't about intellectual capacity but moral responsiveness. Reformed theology recognizes that spiritual truth requires spiritual receptivity wrought by the Spirit. Without diligent hearing, even clear truth becomes obscure.
