The apostle Paul referred to this when he wrote: “When I was a babe, I used to speak as a babe, to think as a babe, to reason as a babe; but now that I have become a man, I have done away with the traits of a babe. ” ​ — 1 Corinthians 13: 11.
وهذا ما اشار اليه بولس عندما كتب :‏ « لما كنت طفلا ،‏ كنت اتكلم كطفل ،‏ وأفكر كطفل ،‏ وأستعمل عقلي كطفل ؛‏ لكنني اذ صرت رجلا ،‏ ابطلت خصائص الطفل » .‏ —‏ ١ كورنثوس ١٣ :‏ ١١‏ .‏
