At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.

And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
