Graduation marks the transition into another phase of adulthood and is a celebration of student's progression to the next level of life and mastery of knowledge. This scripture highlights how new graduates have learned and the importance of putting the lessons they have learned into practice.

1 Corinthians 13:11 is commonly used in reference to adulthood. Adding the next verse, 1 Corinthians 13:12, makes this more suitable for graduation ceremonies because it is specifically about gaining new knowledge.
