13 For everyone who takes milk is without experience of the word of righteousness: he is a child.
Be full of desire for the true milk of the word, as babies at their mothers' breasts, so that you may go on to salvation;
My brothers, do not be children in mind: in evil be as little children, but in mind be of full growth.
So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.
For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith. For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;
For Moses says that the man who does the righteousness which is of the law will get life by it. But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)
And the teaching I gave you, my brothers, was such as I was able to give, not to those who have the Spirit, but to those who are still in the flesh, even to children in Christ.
For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?
