• Meats perish in the using, as those do who look not to the Highest. He is now dealing in nothing but sovereign grace, that the weakest may be sustained, and that the most wicked be saved through Christ and His redemption. (“Hebrews 13:7-9” by W. Kelly)
• To grow in the knowledge of Christ is our life and our privilege. The search after novelties which are foreign to Him is a proof of not being satisfied with Him. But he who is not satisfied with Jesus does not know Him, or, at least, has forgotten Him. It is impossible to enjoy Him, and not to feel that He is everything, that is to say, that He satisfies us, and that by the nature of what He is, He shuts out everything else. (“Hebrews 13” by J.N. Darby)
• It is the active grace of Christ that establishes and sustains the soul, and not divers and strange doctrines, which appear to be very intellectual meat, but only minister to the mind, and therefore do not profit those occupied with them. The vanity of the flesh has a craving after that which is new, and seeks to exalt itself by presenting truth in a way that is different to all that has been taught before, the result being that the leaders who have gone before are belittled, Jesus Christ loses His place as the unchanging Object before the soul, and we are “carried away” by strange doctrines. (“Outside the Camp: Hebrews 13” by H. Smith)

J. N. Darby Translation

+
9
Be not carried away with various and strange doctrines; for it is good that the heart be confirmed with grace, not meats; those who have walked in which have not been profited by them.

W. Kelly Translation

+
9
Be not carried awaya with diversb and strange doctrines; for [it is] good that the heart be confirmed with grace; not with meats, in which those that walked were not profited.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
The T. R. followed by the KJV rightly reads "peripatountes," not "carried about" as in the RV. It is not "carried about" as in {vi 29287}{/vi}, but carried away out of the straight course.
b
The word really means motley or various.
