Proverbs 27:17
Sharpen
“Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.” (Proverbs 27:17)
Follow the thread down: the milk first, then the bread, then the meat. Every verse is the King James text, checked word for word.
Nothing here has that word. Try another, or search the Bible itself.
1Milk
Lay the foundation: what Christians believe, in order.
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:” (1 Peter 2:2)
