John 4:24 (New American Standard Bible)

24″God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship (A)in spirit and truth.”

Therefore, one must go to God humbly, for it takes great humility to tell the truth even when it means not speaking highly of oneself or those we love.

Ephesians 4:11-16 (New American Standard Bible)

11And He (V)gave (W)some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as (X)evangelists, and some as pastors and (Y)teachers,

12(Z)for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of (AA)the body of Christ;

13until we all attain to (AB)the unity of the faith, and of the (AC)knowledge of the Son of God, to a (AD)mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the (AE)fullness of Christ.

14As a result, we are (A)no longer to be children, (B)tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by (C)craftiness in (D)deceitful scheming;

15but speaking the truth (E)in love, we are to (F)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the (G)head, even Christ,

16from whom (H)the whole body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself (I)in love.
