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.
