Ephesians 4:14,15, 25-27
Fellowship: Koinonia: BEING LOVED AND LOVING AT THE DEEPEST LEVEL
''Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 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.
Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. ''In your anger do not sin'': Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.'' Ephesians 4:14,15, 25-27 (NIV)
