They will act as if they were serving God. But what they do will show that they have turned their backs on God’s power. Have nothing to do with these people.

Follow what you heard from me as the pattern of true teaching. Follow it with faith and love because you belong to Christ Jesus.

They claim to know God. But their actions show they don’t know him. They are hated by God. They refuse to obey him. They aren’t fit to do anything good.

You used to be slaves of sin. But thank God that with your whole heart you obeyed the teachings you were given!

Brothers and sisters, I couldn’t speak to you as people who live by the Holy Spirit. I had to speak to you as people who were still following the ways of the world. You aren’t growing as Christ wants you to. You are still like babies.

At that time Jesus said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children.

Anyone who lives on milk is still a baby. That person does not want to learn about living a godly life.

Like newborn babies, you should long for the pure milk of God’s word. It will help you grow up as believers.
