“Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.”
Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings; for it is well for the heart to be strengthened by grace (charis), not by regulations about food, which have not benefited those who observe them — warning against false teachers (didachē xenos) who emphasize food regulations. Grace (charis) strengthens the heart (kardia), not legalistic observance (brōma). This may reference Judaizing opponents urging return to Kosher restrictions.
