以弗所书 4:15 唯用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督。(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 4:15 Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. (NLT)
与其不断地谈论问题、抱怨孩子，或说“现在经营生意太艰难了”，不如选择用爱心说出真相。那真相是什么呢？真相就是：我们是蒙福的；我们是俊美健壮的；我们是健康有力的；我们的家庭关系是和睦的；而我们心中的盼望——无论是关于孩子、新的房子，还是各样的突破——必定要彰显让人看见。圣经说，当我们在爱中说出真理时，我们就会在各方面不断成长，更加活出基督的样式——祂是教会的头，而我们是祂的身体。 这也是为什么来到教会是如此重要。因为当我们在话语中成长，并不断把它宣告出来时，我们生命的每一个层面都会随之成长。阿们！
Instead of constantly speaking about our problems, complaining about our children, or saying things like, “It’s so hard to do business nowadays,” let’s choose to speak the truth in love. And what is that truth? The truth is: We are blessed; we are beautiful and handsome, we are healthy and strong, we have harmonious family relationships, and our hopes—for children, for a new house, for breakthroughs—will surely manifest. The Bible says that as we speak the truth in love, we will grow in every way and become more and more like Christ, who is the Head of the Church—His Body. This is why coming to church is so important. Because as we grow in the Word, and as we speak it out, we begin to grow in every area of our lives. Amen!
