But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head— Christ.

Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the basic principles of God’s revelation again. You need milk, not solid food.Now everyone who lives on milk is inexperienced with the message about righteousness, because he is an infant.

Truly I tell you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.”

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.

For my part, brothers and sisters, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ.I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, since you were not yet ready for it. In fact, you are still not ready,

Brothers and sisters, don’t be childish in your thinking, but be infants in regard to evil and adult in your thinking.

Let’s strive to know the LORD. His appearance is as sure as the dawn. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the land.

“ Truly I tell you,” he said,“ unless you turn and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in newness of life.

Yet the righteous person will hold to his way, and the one whose hands are clean will grow stronger.

The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.

We ought to thank God always for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, since your faith is flourishing and the love each one of you has for one another is increasing.

The instruction of the LORD is perfect, renewing one’s life; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise.The precepts of the LORD are right, making the heart glad; the command of the LORD is radiant, making the eyes light up.The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are reliable and altogether righteous.They are more desirable than gold— than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey dripping from a honeycomb.

because you have been born again— not of perishable seed but of imperishable— through the living and enduring word of God.

Is it not true my house is with God? For he has established a permanent covenant with me, ordered and secured in every detail. Will he not bring about my whole salvation and my every desire?

In him the whole building, being put together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings, and you will go out and playfully jump like calves from the stall.

The people will return and live beneath his shade. They will grow grain and blossom like the vine. His renown will be like the wine of Lebanon.

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