John Chrysostom, on Heb 13:9

“Be not led away with various and strange doctrines. For it is best that the heart be established with grace, not with meats; which have not profited those that walk in them.”

“"Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines." Not "with strange doctrines" only, but neither with "divers ones." "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." Here he gently hints at those who introduce the observance of "meats." For by Faith all things are pure. There is need then of Faith, not of "meats."”
