Eli’s Wicked Sons

¹² Eli’s sons were scoundrels; they had no regard^(A) for the Lord.

² and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit^(A) when^[a] you believed?”

They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.”

¹¹ When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood^(A) behind me.
