   "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
