whoever forces you to go one mile, go two miles with him;

But whoever is a hindrance to one of these little ones who believe in me, better for him to have a great mill-stone hung round his neck and be sunk in the deep sea.

I fed you with milk, not with solid food. You were not able for solid food, and you are not able even now;

Does a soldier provide his own supplies? Does a man plant a vineyard without eating its produce? Does a shepherd get no drink from the milk of the flock?

Though by this time you should be teaching other people, you still need someone to teach you once more the rudimentary principles of the divine revelation. You are in need of milk, not of solid food.

(For anyone who is fed on milk is unskilled in moral truth; he is a mere babe.

Like newly-born children, thirst for the pure, spiritual milk to make you grow up to salvation.
