Exegesis
The strong contrast conjunction alla {ἀλλὰ | allà} introduces a counterbalancing command: tē kakia {τῇ κακίᾳ | tē̂ kakíā} in the dative likewise marks the sphere “in regard to evil,” where the imperative nepiazete {νηπιάζετε | nēpiázete} calls the readers to be “infants,” that is, inexperienced and untouched by wrongdoing.
In context — 1 Corinthians 14:20
Brothers, do not become children in your understanding, but in evil be infants; yet in your understanding, become mature .
