<div> element not getting centered using justify-content:center;

Using justify-content:center; does not generate the required results as shown in the pictures.

.box {
    height: 200px;
    width: 200px;
    background-color: blue;
    margin:10px ;
}

.flex{
    margin:10px;
    border:3px solid black;
    display:flex;
    flex-wrap:wrap;
    justify-content:center;
}
<div class="flex"><p>
    Lets learn about Flexbox.Flexbox needs a parent 
    container in order to work elements inside of that container
    these elements can be centered and adjusted easily.
</p>
<div class="box" id="box1">Box1</div>
<div class="box" id="box2">Box2</div>
<div class="box" id="box3">Box3</div>
<div class="box" id="box4">Box4</div>
<div class="box" id="box5">Box5</div>
<div class="box" id="box6">Box6</div>

Wrap your sections with div, and set flex-direction: column to the parent container. This way your flex-wrap will work correctly. Now, as in your picture the desired result.

.box {
    height: 200px;
    width: 200px;
    background-color: blue;
    margin:10px ;
}

.boxes {
    display: flex;
    flex-wrap: wrap;
    justify-content: center;
    width: calc(600px + 60px);
    max-width: 100%;
}

.flex{
    margin:10px;
    border:3px solid black;
    display:flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    align-items: center;
}
<div class="flex">

You could also set width to p and solve this. In the snippet below flex-grow and flex-shrink are used, you can check the ouput also in this JSFiddle

.box {
  height: 200px;
  width: 200px;
  background-color: blue;
  margin: 10px;
  flex-grow: 4;
  flex-shrink: 4;
}

.flex {
  margin: 10px;
  border: 3px solid black;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: center;
}

.flex p {
  width: 100%;
  padding: 0 1rem;
}
<div class="flex">
  <p>

You can try this. I hope , It will resolve your issue. Use flex-basis: 100% for p tag.

.box {
  height: 200px;
  width: calc((100% / 3) - 10px);
  background-color: blue;
  margin: 5px;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  color: white;
}
p {
  flex-basis: 100%;
}

.flex {
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 10px;
  border: 3px solid black;
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
  justify-content: center;
}
