And to which of the angels has he once said, Sit on my right hand, till I make thine enemies the footstool of thy feet?

All things didst thou place under his feet. For in placing all things under him, thou didst leave nothing not subjected to him. And now we see not yet all things placed under him.

For also ye ought to be teachers for the time, again ye have need for some one to teach you the elements of the beginning of the sayings of God; and have become those having need of milk, and not of firm food.

And firm food is of the perfected, of them by habit having the senses exercised for the separation of good and evil.

Only in food and drinks, and different immersions, and precepts of the flesh, being placed till the time of amendment.

As to the rest, awaiting till his enemies be put a footstool of his feet.

And make straight wheel-ruts to your feet, lest the lame thing turned aside; and it should rather be healed.

With various and strange teachings be not carried about. For good the heart be rendered firm by grace; not by food, in which they having walked about were not profited.
