I have fed you with milk, and not with meat; for ye were not hitherto able to bear it, nor yet are ye even now able.

And this I say for your own benefit, not that I may cast a snare upon you, but in order to recommend that which is fit and becoming before the Lord without distraction.

Do ye not know, that they who are employed about the sacrifices have their food from the temple? and they, who attend at the altar, are partakers with the altar?

But I have availed myself of none of these things. Nor have I written these things, that it might be so done as to me: for it were better for me to die, than that any one should make this my glorying void.

I therefore so run, not as unobserved: I so fight, not as one that beateth the air:

and did all eat the same spiritual food;

But if any one say to you, This hath been sacrificed to an idol,---eat it not; for his sake who informed thee, and for conscience-sake: for, as I said, the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof, so that thou mayst have food enough without it.

but all these worketh that one and the same Spirit distributing to every one in particular as He sees fit.

If the foot should say, "Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body," is it therefore not of the body?

And the eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of thee: or again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

And though I give all my substance to feed the poor, and my body to be burnt, and have not charity, I am nothing profited.

For he must reign till He hath put all his enemies under his feet.

for He hath put all things under his feet. But when He saith that all things are put under Him, it is plain that we are to except Him who put all things under Him.
