¹⁵ and, being true in love, we may increase to Him `in' all things, who is the head -- the Christ;

¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

²⁵ Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

²² and all things He did put under his feet, and did give him -- head over all things to the assembly,

¹⁸ and increase ye in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; to him `is' the glory both now, and to the day of the age! Amen.

²¹ in whom all the building fitly framed together doth increase to an holy sanctuary in the Lord,

² as new-born babes the word's pure milk desire ye, that in it ye may grow,

¹⁸ And himself is the head of the body -- the assembly -- who is a beginning, a first-born out of the dead, that he might become in all `things' -- himself -- first,

¹⁹ because in him it did please all the fulness to tabernacle,

²³ because the husband is head of the wife, as also the Christ `is' head of the assembly, and he is saviour of the body,

² but did renounce for ourselves the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor deceitfully using the word of God, but by the manifestation of the truth recommending ourselves unto every conscience of men, before God;

¹⁶ These `are' the things that ye do: Speak ye truth each with his neighbour, Truth and peaceful judgment judge in your gates,

² O the happiness of a man, To whom Jehovah imputeth not iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

¹⁵ and if a brother or sister may be naked, and may be destitute of the daily food,

¹⁶ and any one of you may say to them, `Depart ye in peace, be warmed, and be filled,' and may not give to them the things needful for the body, what `is' the profit?

⁸ not according to command do I speak, but because of the diligence of others, and of your love proving the genuineness,

⁹ The love unfeigned: abhorring the evil; cleaving to the good;

⁴⁷ Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, `Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'

² And risen to you, ye who fear My name, Hath the sun of righteousness -- and healing in its wings, And ye have gone forth, and have increased as calves of a stall.

⁵ I am as dew to Israel, he flourisheth as a lily, And he striketh forth his roots as Lebanon.

⁶ Go on do his sucklings, And his beauty is as an olive, And he hath fragrance as Lebanon.

⁷ Return do the dwellers under his shadow, They revive `as' corn, and flourish as a vine, His memorial `is' as wine of Lebanon.

¹⁵ And she saith unto him, `How dost thou say, I have loved thee, and thy heart is not with me? these three times thou hast played upon me, and hast not declared to me wherein thy great power `is'.'

²² Your souls having purified in the obedience of the truth through the Spirit to brotherly love unfeigned, out of a pure heart one another love ye earnestly,
