But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head,[ even] Christ:

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.

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.

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.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal,[ even] as unto babes in Christ.I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able[ to bear it], neither yet now are ye able.

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

Then shall we know,[ if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter[ and] former rain unto the earth.

And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

But the path of the just[ is] as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

The law of the LORD[ is] perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD[ is] sure, making wise the simple.The statutes of the LORD[ are] right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD[ is] pure, enlightening the eyes.The fear of the LORD[ is] clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD[ are] true[ and] righteous altogether.More to be desired[ are they] than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.

Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Although my house[ be] not so with God; yet he hath made with me an everlasting covenant, ordered in all[ things], and sure: for[ this is] all my salvation, and all[ my] desire, although he make[ it] not to grow.

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive[ as] the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof[ shall be] as the wine of Lebanon.

I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
