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

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 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 to the day of eternity. Amen.

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

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

And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,

These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another; render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace;

in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord.

Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation—

But we have renounced disgraceful, underhanded ways. We refuse to practice cunning or to tamper with God’s word, but by the open statement of the truth we would commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God.

And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent.For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,

For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.

But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall.

Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no 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 there is no deceit!”

Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,

I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food,and one of you says to them,“ Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?

And 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 you have not told me where your great strength lies.”

Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.

I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon;his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow; they shall flourish like the grain; they shall blossom like the vine; their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
