when i was a child scripture

The scripture "When I was a child" is from 1 Corinthians 13:11. This verse says: "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things." (1 Corinthians 13:11, ESV) Different translations express this similarly, emphasizing the idea of maturity and moving beyond childish ways as one grows up. The Apostle Paul uses this metaphorically to describe spiritual maturity and growth, moving away from childish understanding and behavior to a more mature, responsible faith and perspective. The verse highlights the natural progression from childhood to adulthood, not just physically but also in thinking and reasoning, both in life and faith. If you want, I can elaborate on the meaning or provide more related scripture passages. Let me know! This is the main scripture you were asking about. It expresses the concept of growth from childhood to maturity in understanding and behavior.
