and they picked up the broken pieces and fish that were left over, twelve baskets full.

For we have all received from his fullness one gracious gift after another.

Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

and I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of Christ’s blessing.

No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, because the patch will pull away from the garment and the tear will be worse.

But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

toward the administration of the fullness of the times, to head up all things in Christ – the things in heaven and the things on earth.

No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise, the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and the tear becomes worse.

For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God – a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ’s full stature.
