Grow up in all things into Him Who is the head – Christ.

Ephesians 4:15
Mark 4:28
Ephesians 4:13
2 Corinthians 10:12
2 Corinthians 10:17-18
Colossians 2:17-19
2 Peter 3:18

First the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. § Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

They, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise … But “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

The substance is of Christ. Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
