Let us then / stop discussing / the rudiments of / Christianity - We / ought not to be / laying over again / the foundations of / faith in God and of / repentance from the / deadness of our former / ways, by instruction / about cleaning rites and / the laying-on-of-hands, / about the resurrection of / the dead and eternal / judgement.
Instead let is / advance towards / maturity: and so we / shall, if God permits
