I tell you truly, that whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, shall not enter into it.

We have been buried therefore with him through baptism in death, that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also should walk in newness of life.

And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as spiritual, but as carnal, as babes in Christ.

Brothers, be not children in understanding, but in malice be children, and in understanding be perfect men.

The sincere

I have fed you milk, not solid food; for you were not yet able; but you are not able even now;

For you who ought on account of the time to be teachers, have need that one should teach you again what are the first rudiments of the oracles of God, and have need of milk and not solid food.

Grow

by which all the building being fitted together grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

but speaking the truth with love we may grow to him in all things, who is the head, Christ;

We ought to thank God always for you, brothers, as is fit, because your faith increases greatly, and the love of every one of you all one for another abounds,

but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever.
