Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness.

Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and forever! Amen.

Brothers and sisters, I could not address you as people who live by the Spirit but as people who are still worldly— mere infants in Christ.I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready.

Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.

Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.”

And he said:“ Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Nevertheless, the righteous will hold to their ways, and those with clean hands will grow stronger.

The path of the righteous is like the morning sun, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.

We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.

The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple.The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes.The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous.They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the honeycomb.

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

“ If my house were not right with God, surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant, arranged and secured in every part; surely he would not bring to fruition my salvation and grant me my every desire.

In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well- fed calves.

People will dwell again in his shade; they will flourish like the grain, they will blossom like the vine— Israel’s fame will be like the wine of Lebanon.

I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily. Like a cedar of Lebanon he will send down his roots;
