Concerning whom we have much to say, and that which is difficult to explain, because you have become dull of hearing. For you who ought on account of the time to be teachers, have need that one should teach you again what are the first rudiments of the oracles of God, and have need of milk and not solid food. For every one that partakes of milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe; read more.

Wherefore leaving the account of the beginning of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of a change of mind from dead works, and of faith in God, of baptisms taught, and the imposition of hands, and of the resurrection of the dead, and of the eternal judgment.

But the land which drinks in the rain that often falls on it, and produces plants beneficial to those by whom it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God; but that which produces thorns and thistles is disapproved, and is nigh to a curse, the end of which is to be burned. But we are persuaded better things of you, beloved, and things pertaining to salvation, though we thus speak. For God is not unjust, to forget your work, and the love which you showed for his name, having served the saints and [still] serving them. But we desire each of you to show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope to the end, that you be not stupid, but followers of those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For God haying promised Abraham, when he could not swear by a greater, swore by himself, saying, Surely, blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you; and so having waited long he obtained the promise. For men indeed swear by a greater, and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all dispute;
