An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who has the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.
Hold fast the pattern of sound words, which you have heard of me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
But God be thanked, that you were the servants of sin, but you have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you.
As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby:
For every one that uses milk is unskillful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hid these things from the wise and prudent, and have revealed them unto babes.
And are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light of them who are in darkness,
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
My brethren, be not many teachers, knowing that we shall receive the severer judgment.
