Hebrews 5:12

12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Hebrews 5:12 tina, {C}

The Textus Receptus reads the interrogative ti,na (hence AV renders, “ye have need that one teach you again which @ti,na# be the first principles of the oracles of God”), with Bc Dc K 88 614 Byz Lect al. Since the earliest manuscripts are without accent marks, editors must decide on the basis of context which is the more appropriate form; here the Committee felt that the indefinite pronoun (tina,) gives a sharper antithesis to ei=nai dida,skaloi in the preceding clause.
