You have put everything under his feet!" In thus making everything subject to man, God left nothing that was not subjected to him. But we do not as yet see everything made subject to him,

For although from the length of your Christian experience you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very elements of Christian truth, and you have come to need milk instead of solid food.

But full-grown men have a right to solid food, for their faculties are trained by practice to distinguish right and wrong.

since they have to do only with food and drink and various washings??aterial regulations in force only until the time for the new order.

And keep your feet in straight paths, so that limbs that are lame may not be dislocated but instead be cured.

You must not be carried away with strange varieties of teaching. The true way to steadfastness of heart is through God's mercy, not through scruples about food, which have never done their adherents any good.

fit you by every blessing to do his will, and through Jesus Christ carry out in us what will please him. To him be glory forever and ever. Amen.
