9 Bible Verses about Babies Used As A Spiritual Image

And I, brothers, could not speak to you as to spiritual, but as to carnal, as to the childlike in Christ. I gave you milk to drink and not solid food, for ye were not yet able. But not even yet are ye able,

as newborn babes, long for the genuine intellectual milk, so that ye may grow by it,

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou have {perfected praise (LXX/NT)}, because of thine adversaries, that thou might still the enemy and the avenger.

and said to him, Do thou hear what these are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes! Did ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and those who suckle thou have perfected praise?

Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike.

a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the childlike, having in the law the essence of knowledge and truth,

Brothers, become not children in your thoughts. Instead be childlike in wickedness, but in your thoughts become mature.

So that we may no longer be childish, tossed about and carried about by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in craftiness with the methodology of error.

For every man partaking of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is childlike. But solid food is for mature men, those having their sensibilities trained through practice for the discernment of both good and evil.
