"By doctrines changeful and strange do not be carried away..."

From The Letter to the Hebrews, chapter 13:

7  Remember them leading you, whomever has spoken to you the Word of the God, of whom—examining carefully the outcome of the conduct—the faith imitate.

8  Jesus Christ yesterday, and today, is the same, and into the ages.

9  By doctrines changeful and strange do not be carried away. Good, indeed, it is for the heart to be established by grace*, not by foods, by which they walking in accordance with them have not been profited. (CFB)

Notes

* The Ancient Greek word used here is cháris, which has many possible meanings. The sense of "thanks" or "gratitude" can have been meant instead of or in addition to "grace".
