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.
Rasul Paulus menunjuk kepada hal ini ketika ia menulis, ” Sewaktu aku kanak - kanak, aku berbicara seperti kanak - kanak, berpikir seperti kanak - kanak, bernalar seperti kanak - kanak; namun setelah aku menjadi pria dewasa aku membuang sifat kanak - kanak. ” — 1 Korintus 13: 11.
