Concerning whom there is much word to us, and difficult to speak, since you are dull of hearing. For indeed you, who ought to be teachers so far as time is concerned, have need that some one again teach you what are the rudiments of the beginning of the oracles of God; and you have need of milk, not solid food. For every one partaking of milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness; for he is a babe; read more.
but solid food belongs to the perfect, those having their senses disciplined by use unto the discernment both of the good and the evil.

Therefore having left the word of the beginning of Christ, let us be carried to perfection; not again laying the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the teaching of baptisms, and of the laying on of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And we will do this, if God may permit. read more.
For it is impossible that those having been once enlightened, and tasted the heavenly gift, and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and having tasted the beautiful word of God, and the dynamites of the coming age, indeed having fallen away, to renew them again unto repentance; having crucified to themselves again the Son of God, and put him to an open shame. For the earth drinking the rain coming often upon her, and bringing forth the herb nutritious to those by whom it is also cultivated, receives blessings from God: but that which produces thorns and thistles, is reprobate, and nigh unto the curse; whose end is unto burning. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things concerning you, and things appertaining to salvation, if indeed we do thus speak. For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the divine love which you manifested in his name, having ministered to the saints, and ministering. But we desire each one of you to exhibit the same diligence unto the full assurance of hope unto the end: in order that you may not be dull, but imitators of those who through faith and longsufferings do inherit the promises. For God having promised Abraham, since he had no greater one by whom to swear, swore by himself, saying, If indeed blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee: and thus having waited long, he received the promise. For men swear by the greater: and an oath of confirmation is to them an end to all controversy:

Every one hearing the word of the kingdom, and not understanding it, the wicked one comes, and seizes away that which is sown in his heart: he is the one sown by the wayside. But the one sown upon the rocks, is he who heareth the word, and immediately with joy receives it; but it has no root in him, but is temporary; and tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, immediately he is offended. read more.
But the one sown among the thorns, is he who heareth the word; and the care of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke out the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world even until now nor ever may be. And if those days were not shortened, no life would be saved: but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. Then if any one may say to you, Lo, here is Christ, or, there: believe him not: read more.
for false Christs and false prophets will rise up, and give great signs and wonders; so as to deceive even the elect, if possible. Behold, I have foretold you.

And those on the stones are they who, when they may hear, receive the word with joy; and they have no root in them, who believe for a time, and in time of temptation they fall away. And that which falleth among thorns, there are those who hear, and going forward, by the cares and riches and pleasures are choked out, and bring forth no fruit to perfection.
We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as it is worthy, because your faith increases, and the divine love of each one of you all towards one another abounds more and more; so that we ourselves rejoice over you in the churches of God, on account of your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations which you endure; the manifestation of the righteous judgment of God, that you may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you indeed suffer:
