Ephesians4:15
15 But speaking the truth in love , may grow up into him , in all things, which is the head, even Christ .
Or following the truth in love, q. d. not onely let us not be Seduced by the craftiness of Men, but constantly adhere to, and persevere in the Belief of the Truth, joining Love with it, in which two the sum of Christianity consists; and this will be a means of our growing up, and being no more Children.
This is opposed to being Children: we are not to stand at a stay, but grow to maturity, Heb. 6.1.
In Knowledge, Faith, Love, and all the parts of the New Man.
Our growth must be with respect to Christ our Head, as the end of it; we must grow in our acknowledgment of him, and dependance on him, as he by whom we are influenced, and from whom all our proficiency and strength proceeds; so that whatever encrease we make, must tend not to the magnifying our selves, but exalting our Head.
