Last Updated : July 25, 2006
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a
child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put
away childish things."
1 Corinthians 13:11, KJV
"Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in
malice be ye children, but in understanding be men."
1 Corinthians 14:20, KJV
"That he would grant you, according to the riches of his
glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the
inner man;"
Ephesians 3:16, KJV
"Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we
henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of
men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to
deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into
him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: . . . But
ye have not so learned Christ; If so be that ye have heard
him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old
man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And
be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on
the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and
true holiness."
Ephesians 4:13-15, 20-24, KJV
"As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so
walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished
in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with
thanksgiving."
Colossians 2:6-7, KJV
"Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old
man with his deeds; And have put on the new man, which is
renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created
him:"
Colossians 3:9-10, KJV
"For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need
that one teach you again which be the first principles of
the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of
milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk
is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even
those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to
discern both good and evil."
Hebrews 5:12-14, KJV
"Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ,
let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith
toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of
hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal
judgment."
Hebrews 6:1-2, KJV
"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that
ye may grow thereby:"
1 Peter 2:2, KJV
"Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before,
beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the
wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace,
and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen."
2 Peter 3:17-18, KJV
