but holding the truth in love we shall grow up in every part into him who is our Head, even Christ.

God has put all things under Christ's feet, and placed him as Head over all in the church,

In him the whole building, fitly framed together, rises into a holy temple in the Lord;

I have renounced the hidden things of shame, not spending my life in craftiness, nor adulterating the word of God; but setting forth the truth openly, I strive to commend myself to every man's conscience as in the sight of God.

So then put away falseness and speak every man the truth to his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

Like new-born babes long for the pure spiritual milk to make you grow up into salvation;

My children, let us not love in word nor in talk, but in deed and in truth.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and said, "Behold a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."

Let love be without insincerity. Abhor what is evil; wed yourselves to what is good.

I do not say this by way of command, but by the zeal of others I am trying to prove the reality of your love.

because a husband is the head of his wife even as Christ is head of the church, his body, which he saves.

He is the head of his Body, the Church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, in order that in all things he may become preeminent.

If a brother or sister be naked and in need of daily food,

Now that by obedience to the truth you have purified your lives for a brotherly love without hypocrisy, you must love one another from your hearts, fervently.

But grow continually in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and unto the Day of Eternity, Amen.
