New-born

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

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

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

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

And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

Brethren, do not be children in your thinking; yet in evil be infants, but in your thinking be mature.

The sincere

The law of the Lord is

perfect, restoring the soul;

The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able,

For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the

elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

Grow

“Truly is not my house so with God?
For He has made an everlasting covenant with me,
Ordered in all things, and secured;
For all my salvation and all my desire,
Will He not indeed make it grow?

“Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way,
And he 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.

“So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord.
His going forth is as certain as the dawn;
And He will come to us like the rain,
Like the spring rain watering the earth.”

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

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

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

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

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater;

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.
