Concerning Whom we have much to say and difficult to explain, since ye have become dull of hearing. For even when, on account of the time, ye ought to be teachers, ye again have need that some one teach you the first elements of the oracles of God, and have become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food; for every one who partakes of milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe; read more.

And we desire that each of you show forth the same diligence to the full assurance of the hope to the end; that ye may not become slothful, but imitators of those who, through faith and long-suffering, inherit the promises. For God, when making a promise to Abraham, since He had no one greater by whom to swear, swore by Himself, saying, "Surely, blessing, I will bless you; and multiplying, I will multiply you." And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men swear by the greater; and the oath for confirmation is an end, to them, of every dispute:




and, even for this very reason, adding all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in virtue, knowledge; and in knowledge, continence; and in continence, patience; and in patience, godliness;
