Brethren, do not be children in mind; yet in evil be babes, but in mind be full-grown.

The sincere

I fed you with milk, and not solid food; for not yet were ye able to bear it; nay, nor even now are ye able;

For even when, on account of the time, ye ought to be teachers, ye again have need that some one teach you the first elements of the oracles of God, and have become such as have need of milk, and not of solid food;

Grow

in Whom all the building, fitly framed together, is growing up into a holy temple in the Lord;

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him, Who is the Head, Christ;

We ought to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith is growing exceedingly, and the love of each one of you abounds toward one another;

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