Ephesians 4:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ Love should always make us tell the truth. Then we will grow in every way and be more like Christ, the head ^16 (A) of the body. Christ holds it together and makes all of its parts work perfectly, as it grows and becomes strong because of love.

The Old Life and the New Life

¹⁷ As a follower of the Lord, I order you to stop living like stupid, godless people.
