tasted the good word of God and the miracles of the coming age,

And let us take thought of how to spur one another on to love and good works,

Pray for us, for we are sure that we have a clear conscience and desire to conduct ourselves rightly in every respect.

But solid food is for the mature, whose perceptions are trained by practice to discern both good and evil.

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