I fed you with milk, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Even now you are still not ready.

What soldier ever serveth at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not the fruit thereof? Or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, that eat, asking no question for conscience sake:

Or, for example, if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, what soldier will be prepared for battle?

Therefore let no one slight him, but all of you should help him forward in peace to join me; for I am waiting for him and others of the brethren.
