Concerning him I have much to say, and much that is hard to make clear to you, because you have grown dull of hearing. And this too, although you ought by this time to be teaching others, you are still needing some one to teach you the very rudiments of divine revelation. You need milk, not solid food. For every one who feeds on milk is inexperienced in the word of righteousness. He is still an infant. read more.
But solid food is for adults, that is, for those who by constant practise have their faculties trained to discriminate between good and evil.

So let us get beyond the teaching of the elementary doctrines of Christ, and let us be borne along toward what is mature. Let us not be continually laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works, of faith in God, of the teaching regarding ablutions and the laying on of hands, of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this we will do, if God permit. read more.
For in the case of those who have been once for all enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the Future Age, and then fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. For they repeatedly crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and expose him to an open shame. For land that has drunk the showers that now and again fall upon it, and produced vegetation useful for those for whom it was tilled, receives a blessing from God; but if it produces thorns and thistles, it is considered worthless, and is in danger of being cursed, and its end will be to be burned. But though we thus speak, we are persuaded better things of you, beloved, and things that accompany salvation. For God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you showed for his cause, in sending help to your fellow Christians, as you are still doing. but I am longing that each of you continue to show the same diligence to realize the fulness of your hope, even to the end. Then do not become slack, but be imitators of those who through faith and patience are inheriting the promises. For when God make the promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he swore by himself, saying. Surely I will bless you, and bless you; I will increase you, and increase you. And so by patiently waiting, Abraham obtained the promise. I am referring to the oath because men swear by what is greater than themselves, and in every dispute of theirs the oath is final for confirmation.
