Paul wrote "(to) the church (of) God being in Corinth" (1 Corinthians 1:2) and he wrote to them: "I BEGOT you IN CHRIST Jesus through the good-news" (1 Corinthians 4:15). Paul mentioned how it is possible to be as "INFANTS IN CHRIST" (1 Corinthians 3:1).
Peter wrote that newborn babies in Christ can grow, as he wrote to "yearn like NEWBORN BABIES for the deceitless reasonable milk in-order-that by it YOU-MAY-GROW for (your) salvation" (1 Peter 2:2).
The goal is to not remain infants, but instead one can grow to attain the stature of a perfect (mature) one, as Paul wrote: "until we all attain to the unity (of) the faith and (of) the knowledge (of) the Son of God, TO (a) PERFECT man, to (the) measure (of the) stature (of) the fullness (of) Christ, so-that WE-MAY-BE NO-LONGER INFANTS" (Ephesians 4:13-14).
Paul was laboring so that he may present every person perfect (mature) in Christ, as he wrote about Christ "Whom we are-proclaiming, admonishing every person, and teaching every person with all wisdom, in-order-that WE-MAY-PRESENT every person PERFECT IN CHRIST, for which I also am-laboring" (Colossians 1:28-29).
