maturity

Romans Chapter 5:3

And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;

Romans Chapter 5:4

And patience, experience; and experience, hope:

1 Corinthians Chapter 13:11

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

1 Corinthians Chapter 14:20

Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.

Ephesians Chapter 4:13

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Ephesians Chapter 4:14

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

Ephesians Chapter 4:15

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

Hebrews Chapter 5:12

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Hebrews Chapter 5:13

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

Hebrews Chapter 5:14

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Hebrews Chapter 6:1

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,

Hebrews Chapter 6:2

Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.

Hebrews Chapter 6:3

And this will we do, if God permit.

James Chapter 1:1

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

James Chapter 1:2

My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

James Chapter 1:3

Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

James Chapter 1:4

But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

James Chapter 1:5

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

James Chapter 1:6

But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

James Chapter 1:7

For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

James Chapter 1:8

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

James Chapter 1:9

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

James Chapter 1:10

But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.

James Chapter 1:11

For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways.

James Chapter 1:12

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

James Chapter 1:13

Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:

James Chapter 1:14

But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.

James Chapter 1:15

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.

James Chapter 1:16

Do not err, my beloved brethren.

James Chapter 1:17

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

James Chapter 1:18

Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

James Chapter 1:19

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

James Chapter 1:20

For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.

James Chapter 1:21

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

James Chapter 1:22

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

James Chapter 1:23

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:

James Chapter 1:24

For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

James Chapter 1:25

But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

James Chapter 1:26

If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.

James Chapter 1:27

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.

1 Peter Chapter 2:2

As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter Chapter 3:18

But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
