Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not
acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But
solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have

After Christ
Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to
test and approve what God's will is--his good, pleasing and perfect
will. Romans 12:2 (NIV)
In the Community of Christ.
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to
his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 "In your anger do
not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and
do not give the devil a foothold. 28 He who has been stealing must
steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own
hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. 29 Do
not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what
is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may
benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,
with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all
bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every
form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians
4:25-32 (NIV)
