In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you also are being built together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

endeavouring to preserve the spiritual union by your affectionate attachment to one another.

Dependent on Him, the whole body--its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another-- grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of love.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and fury, and clamor, and calumny, be put away from you, with all malice: and be kind one to another,

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

and walk continually in love [that is, value one another—practice empathy and compassion, unselfishly seeking the best for others], just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God [slain for you, so that it became] a sweet fragrance.

Do not drink wine to excess, for that leads to profligacy; but seek to be filled with the Spirit of God, and speak to one another in psalms and hymns and sacred songs.

speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

And you masters should treat your slaves the same way; do not threaten them, knowing that God, who is both their Master and yours, is in heaven and He does not respect any particular person [over another].
