<p>1:28 <i>We proclaim him, encouraging every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man complete in Christ</i>- As Christ will &quot;present (us) holy and unblameable&quot; (Col. 1:22), as a spotless bride (Eph. 5:27). The relationship between Christ and the ecclesia is to be mirrored within the ecclesia.&nbsp; See on Eph. 5:31.</p>
