13:9 Do not be carried away by all sorts of strange teachings. ²  For it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not ritual meals, ³  which have never benefited those who participated in them.

¹ tn Grk “have taken refuge”; the basis of that refuge is implied in the preceding verse.

² tn Grk “by diverse and strange teachings.”

³ tn Grk “foods,” referring to the meals associated with the OT sacrifices (see the contrast with the next verse; also 9:9-10; 10:1, 4, 11).
