Eph. 4:22-25
22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the (spirit) attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 

Col. 3:10
… put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. 

1 Cor. 2:16
I Cor. 13:11
When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 

Science Today says….
“emotional intelligence is a person’s ability to identify emotions, in both themselves and others, to recognize the powerful effects of those emotions, and to use that information to inform and guide behavior.

2 Cor. 10:5
5 We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ, 6 being ready to punish every disobedience, when your obedience is complete.
