1 Corinthians 14:20
Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
Both men and children see the world in terms of sacrifice. The difference is that children expect sacrifices to be made to them and for them whereas men understand that sacrifices are required of them and for others. This is the world that God made and the way He requires us to live in it. We should understand this and conform ourselves to it.
Malice is the way of the fallen world and one with which we should not be acquainted. We should not have PhDs in worldly wisdom. When it comes to that, we shouldn't be ignorant of it, but we shouldn't be experts in it.
Boys resent responsibility. Men take it.
Boys make excuses. Men make hay.
