Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so that you will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment,

Like newborn infants, desire the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow up into your salvation,

And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the actual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”

but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

And I, brothers and sisters, could not speak to you as spiritual people, but only as fleshly, as to infants in Christ.I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to consume it. But even now you are not yet able,

Brothers and sisters, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.

So let’s learn, let’s press on to know the Lord. His appearance is as sure as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, As the spring rain waters the earth.”

and said,“ Truly I say to you, unless you change and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life.

Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way, And the one who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn That shines brighter and brighter until the full day.

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters, as is only fitting, because your faith is increasing abundantly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another grows ever greater.

The Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.The precepts 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 forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether.They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much pure gold; Sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

for you have been born again not of seed which is perishable, but imperishable, that is, through the living and enduring word of God.

Is my house not indeed so with God? For He has made an everlasting covenant with me, Properly ordered in all things, and secured; For will He not indeed make All my salvation and all my delight grow?

in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord,

But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and frolic like calves from the stall.

Those who live in his shadow Will again raise grain, And they will blossom like the vine. His fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.

I will be like the dew to Israel; He will blossom like the lily, And he will take root like the cedars of Lebanon.
