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

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

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 glory both now and forever. Amen.

My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

Therefore, putting away lying,“ Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for we are members of one another.

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,

These are the things you shall do: Speak each man the truth to his neighbor; Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice, and peace;

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

as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby,

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell,

For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.

But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit.

Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him, and said of him,“ Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no deceit!”

Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart,

I speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love by the diligence of others.

If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food,and one of you says to them,“ Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?

Then 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 where your great strength lies.”

Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil. Cling to what is good.

I will be like the dew to Israel; He shall grow like the lily, And lengthen his roots like Lebanon.His branches shall spread; His beauty shall be like an olive tree, And his fragrance like Lebanon.Those who dwell under his shadow shall return; They shall be revived like grain, And grow like a vine. Their scent shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
