And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

I am the vine, ye {are} the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. {without me: or, severed from me}

That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these {is} charity.

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, {even} Christ: {speaking...: or, being sincere}

Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and {of} a good conscience, and {of} faith unfeigned:

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received {it} not {as} the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and {in} all judgment; {judgment: or, sense}

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also {is} Christ.

But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only {use} not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, {and} curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. {substance: or, strength, or, body}

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, {see that ye} love one another with a pure heart fervently:

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all toward each other aboundeth;

Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

Charity suffereth long, {and} is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, {vaunteth...: or, is not rash}

And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all {men}, even as we {do} toward you:

Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. {comfort: or, exhort}

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. {to...: or, to edify profitably}

How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, {even} the law of commandments {contained} in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, {so} making peace;

Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.

For we {being} many are one bread, {and} one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition {between us};

Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.

And thou shalt make fifty taches of gold, and couple the curtains together with the taches: and it shall be one tabernacle.

Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews. {fenced: Heb. hedged}

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think {of himself} more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. {soberly: Gr. to sobriety}

And thou shalt make bars {of} shittim wood; five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

The five curtains shall be coupled together one to another; and {other} five curtains {shall be} coupled one to another.

If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and {be} not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, {and} which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
