Isaiah 28:9

9 a“To whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?

Matthew 18:3-4

3and said, Truly, I say to you, unless you bturn and cbecome like children, you dwill never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 eWhoever humbles himself like this child is the fgreatest in the kingdom of heaven.

1 Corinthians 3:1-2

Divisions in the Church

1But I, brothers,
Or  brothers and sisters
could not address you as hspiritual people, but as ipeople of the flesh, as jinfants in Christ.
2 kI fed you with milk, not solid food, for lyou were not ready for it. And even now you are not yet ready,

1 Corinthians 14:20

20Brothers, mdo not be children in your thinking. nBe infants in evil, but in your thinking be omature.

Hebrews 5:12-14

12For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again pthe basic principles of the oracles of God. You need qmilk, not solid food, 13for everyone who lives on milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is ra child. 14But solid food is for sthe mature, for those who have their powers tof discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil.
