1 Corinthians 14:20

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

Friends, don't think like kids when it comes to understanding important things. But when it comes to being mean or holding grudges? Yeah, stay childlike there — be innocent. When it's time to think things through, though, step up and be mature.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Grow up in wisdom, but keep that childlike heart when it comes to being petty.
