Luke 18:17; 1 Corinthians 13:11; 1 Corinthians 14:20; Ephesians 4:14

17 Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it."

11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways.

20 Brothers, do not be children in your thinking. Be infants in evil, but in your thinking be mature.

14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
