Ephesians 4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies… Concerning this growth, the apostle says — I. It is from Christ. He is the causal source from which all life and power is derived. II. It depends on the intimate union of all the parts of the body with the head, by means of appropriate bands. III. It is symmetrical. IV. It is a growth in love. (Dr. Hodge.) Parallel Verses KJV: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love. |
