Ephesians 4:16
From [Christ] the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
The body is the Church, a living organism. Held together by Christ, in whom all things consist. It grows as a living being, and is built up, edified, as a building is built. All in the environment of love: God's love for us and our love for one another, as each one of us does the work God planned ahead for us to do. And as each of us does his/her part, God's Plan of the Ages will be accomplished, in our lives, our families, our neighborhoods, our cities, our nations--in the whole created Universe.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
