In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise,

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,

if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,

and to put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Therefore, ridding yourselves of falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, because we are parts of one another.

(for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

Stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
