¹⁵ But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

¹⁸ My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

²⁵ Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

²² And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

¹⁸ But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

²¹ In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

² As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

¹⁸ And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

¹⁹ For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

²³ For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

⁹ Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!

² But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

⁵ I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

⁷ They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

¹⁵ And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me? thou hast mocked me these three times, and hast not told me wherein thy great strength lieth.

²² Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
