Exegesis

The verse begins with the dative phrase didachais poikilais kai xenais {διδαχαῖς ποικίλαις καὶ ξέναις | didakhaîs poikílais kaì xénais}, which functions as a dative of respect or means, indicating the sphere in which the danger lies: “in connection with various and strange teachings.”

In contextHebrews 13:9

Do not be carried away by various and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be established by grace , not by foods , by which those who walk in them were not benefited.
