¹⁵ but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

¹⁸ My little children, let's not love in word only, neither with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

²⁵ Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members one of another.

²² He put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things for the assembly,

¹⁸ But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

²¹ in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

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

¹⁵ She said to him, How can you say, I love you, when your heart is not with me? you have mocked me these three times, and have not told me in which your great strength lies.

²² Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:
