as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow, — 1 Peter 2:2
I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, — 1 Corinthians 3:2
I opened my mouth wide and panted, for I longed for your commandments. — Psalms 119:131
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby. But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. — Hebrews 5:12
I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, — 1 Corinthians 3:2
This I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and all discernment; so that you may approve the things that are excellent; that you may be sincere and without offense to the day of Christ; — Philippians 1:9
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire. — Galatians 5:16
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. — Galatians 5:16
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. — Romans 8:4
and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with children, “My son, don’t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when you are reproved by him; For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, and scourges every son whom he receives.” It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with children, for what son is there whom his father doesn’t discipline? But if you are without discipline, of which all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not children. Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live? For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness. All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby. — Hebrews 12:5
for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights. — Proverbs 3:12
Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law; — Psalms 94:12
Brothers, I couldn’t speak to you as to spiritual, but as to fleshly, as to babies in Christ. I fed you with milk, not with meat; for you weren’t yet ready. Indeed, not even now are you ready, for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men? — 1 Corinthians 3:1
for you are still fleshly. For insofar as there is jealousy, strife, and factions among you, aren’t you fleshly, and don’t you walk in the ways of men? — 1 Corinthians 3:3
For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food. — Hebrews 5:12
