Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not made subject to him. But now we see not yet all things subjected to him.

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

But strong food 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.

For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh often upon it, and bringeth forth herbs fit for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God:

Of how much more severe punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite to the Spirit of grace?

But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;

Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

And make straight paths for your feet, lest that which is lame be turned out of the way; but let it rather be healed.

Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birth-right.
