"You are not ready for solid food," 1 Corinthians 3:2.
No? Why not? Well, the discussion has been about being a natural (soul-ish) person versus being a spiritual person. Spiritual adults behave like Christ. Now, people born into Christ (born of water and Spirit, right?) are no longer natural. But we're babies in Christ. We must grow up. Grow up into the mind of Christ. As long as we do not, we're just roly-poly babies whose world starts with milk bottles, continues with tantrums for attention, and ends with diaper changes. Yeah. Pretty much like: I'm for this guy; or, I'm for that gal. Just like natural, unspiritual people.
We meet with a brother or sister today in service to God's purposes, not to our own wills. And together we give thanks that he nourishes us up to behave like sons and daughters of the Creator. Like his Son.
