• By "partaking" is meant having milk for one's share, in ordinary use, as a babe takes it; not for partial or occasional fare, as any one might. The word translated "fullgrown" is literally "perfect" and so given in the A. V. repeatedly to the loss of the true force, which is simply those come to maturity. (“Hebrews 5:11-14” by W. Kelly)
• to stop short of liberty and sonship is to abide in the bondage of law and to undo the privileges of the gospel. Further, we may note how indigenous to the heart is this fear of God's grace, which, even when the gospel is sounding freedom to the slave through faith in Christ, is ever prone to go back to what is annulled (2 Cor. 3); and this among Gentiles as well as Jews: a retrograde tendency which the apostle was combating always and everywhere. Whatever its source, whether worldly wisdom or legalism, it is an evil to which no quarter should be shown (“Hebrews 5:11-14” by W. Kelly)
• The stronger food—the full truth of Christianity into which the apostle desires to lead us—belongs to full-grown Christians, those who are established in the position in which the righteousness of God has placed them as sons before God. (“The Spiritual Condition of the Hebrew Believers: Hebrews 5:11-6:3” by H. Smith)

but solid food belongs to full-grown men, who, on account of habit, have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

W. Kelly Translation

But solid food belongeth to perfecta, those that on account of habit have their senses exercised for distinguishing both good and evil.

a
Or, "full-grown." The word translated "full-grown" is literally "perfect," and given in the KJV so repeatedly that some lose the true force, which is simply those come to maturity. Solid food is for "full-grown men."
