¹⁸ `My' Little children, let us not love in word, neither with the tongue; but in deed and truth.

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

²² and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church,
