V. 14.— 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. As grown up persons do not feed upon milk, but are able to digest strong meat; so those who are perfect, [The word rendered “ of full age" is, literally, perfect, a word which is very frequently used in this Epistle, and means well instructed. The Apostle uses the same word Philippians 3:15, where it has probably a reference to those who were initiated in the heathen mysteries. They were termed perfect.] well instructed, who have their senses exercised to discern good and evil, view the ordinances of the Mosaic dispensation in their true light, as what they really are: shadows; as shadows of good things to come, chap. 10:1, and thus discern the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory. 1 Corinthians 2:7.
