Ephesians 4:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ From him, the entire body, joined and held together by every ligament, continues to grow and to build itself up in love, as each part performs its particular function.

¹⁷ The Newness of the Christian Life. Therefore, I declare and attest in the Lord that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. ¹⁸ They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and their hardness of heart.
