I have fed you with milk, and not with solid food: for until now you were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.
All Commentaries on 1 Corinthians 3:2 Go To 1 Corinthians 3
Clement Of Alexandria
AD 215
And we have still to explain what is said by the apostle: "I have fed you with milk (as children in Christ), not with meat; for ye were not able, neither yet are ye now able.".
And since the Word is the gushing fountain of life, and has been called a river of olive oil, Paul, using appropriate figurative language, and calling Him milk, adds: "I have given you to drink; ".
Wherefore the Holy Spirit in the apostle, using the voice of the Lord, says mystically, "I have given you milk to drink."
