1 Corinthians 14:20

MSG

NIV

20 To be perfectly frank, I'm getting exasperated with your infantile thinking. How long before you grow up and use your head - your adult head? It's all right to have a childlike unfamiliarity with evil; a simple no is all that's needed there. But there's far more to saying yes to something. Only mature and well-exercised intelligence can save you from falling into gullibility.
20 Brothers and sisters, stop thinking like children. In regard to evil be infants, but in your thinking be adults.
