And speaking the truth in love, let us grow up into him in all things, who is the head, Christ:

For if grown together we have been in the likeness of his death, but also shall we be of the resurrection:

Which truly is less than all seeds; but when it has grown, it is greater than vegetables, and becomes a tree, so that the flying things of heaven come and lodge in its young shoots.

For the sun sprang up with heat, and dried up the grass, and its flower fell out, and the decorum of its face was destroyed: so also shall the rich be dried up in his goings.
