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

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ,

You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need, that it may give grace to those who hear.

From him the whole body grows, fitted and held together through every supporting ligament. As each one does its part, the body grows in love.
