11 When I was a babe, I used to speak as a babe, to think as a babe, to reason as a babe; but now that I have become a man,+ I have done away with the [traits] of a babe.

20 Brothers, do not become young children in powers of understanding,+ but be babes as to badness;+ yet become full-grown in powers of understanding.+

13 until we all attain to the oneness in the faith and in the accurate knowledge of the Son of God, to a full-grown+ man, to the measure of stature that belongs to the fullness of the Christ;+

16 At any rate, to what extent we have made progress, let us go on walking orderly+ in this same routine.*

14 But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their perceptive powers*+ trained* to distinguish both right and wrong.+
