But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.

惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督。

我们反而要用爱心说诚实话，各方面向着基督长进，连于元首基督，

我们反而要用爱心说诚实话，各方面向着基督长进，连于元首基督，

相反，我们说话要凭爱心坚持真理，在各方面都要追求长进，更像元首基督。

却要在爱中过诚实的生活，在各方面长进，达到基督的身量。他是教会的头，

我们却要在爱中说真话，在一切事上向着他长进；他就是头，是基督。

惟用愛心說誠實話，凡事長進，連於元首基督，

我們反而要用愛心說誠實話，各方面向着基督長進，連於元首基督，

我們反而要用愛心說誠實話，各方面向着基督長進，連於元首基督，

相反，我們說話要憑愛心堅持真理，在各方面都要追求長進，更像元首基督。

卻要在愛中過誠實的生活，在各方面長進，達到基督的身量。他是教會的頭，

但我們總要以愛心持守真理，各方面長大、直到長成了基督：基督就是元首。

我們卻要在愛中說真話，在一切事上向著他長進；他就是頭，是基督。

惟居愛崇真、萬事漸長於彼、彼乃元首、即基督也、

基督為教會首、爾居仁而言實、萬事託之生長、

當以愛心言真實、凡事日漸增長、及於為元首者、即基督也、

務須篤守真諦、涵養愛德、日漸月漬、暢茂條達、庶克仰配為吾人元首之基督。

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.

Instead, we will speak the truth in love. So we will grow up in every way to become the body of Christ. Christ is the head of the body.

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church.

But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head— Christ.

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,

but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head— Christ—

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

But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him who is the head— Christ.

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

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

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the honor both now and on that eternal day.

Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue but in deed and truth.

Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

And God put all things under Christ’s feet, and he gave him to the church as head over all things.

These are the things you must do: Speak the truth, each of you, to one another. Practice true and righteous judgment in your courts.

In him the whole building, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

And yearn like newborn infants for pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up to salvation,

But we have rejected shameful hidden deeds, not behaving with deceptiveness or distorting the word of God, but by open proclamation of the truth we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience before God.

He is the head of the body, the church, as well as the beginning, the firstborn from among the dead, so that he himself may become first in all things.For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in the Son

because the husband is the head of the wife as also Christ is the head of the church– he himself being the savior of the body.

But for you who respect my name, the sun of vindication will rise with healing wings, and you will skip about like calves released from the stall.

How blessed is the one whose wrongdoing the LORD does not punish, in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him and exclaimed,“ Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”

You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart.

I am not saying this as a command, but I am testing the genuineness of your love by comparison with the eagerness of others.

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacks daily food,and one of you says to them,“ Go in peace, keep warm and eat well,” but you do not give them what the body needs, what good is it?

She said to him,“ How can you say,‘ I love you,’ when you will not share your secret with me? Three times you have deceived me and have not told me what makes you so strong.”

Love must be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil, cling to what is good.

I will be like the dew to Israel; he will blossom like a lily, he will send down his roots like a cedar of Lebanon.His young shoots will grow; his splendor will be like an olive tree, his fragrance like a cedar of Lebanon.People will reside again in his shade; they will plant and harvest grain in abundance. They will blossom like a vine, and his fame will be like the wine from Lebanon.
