God, to mature manhood,[a] to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
Colossians 1:19 - 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell,Colossians 2:9 - 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,Romans 11:12 - 12 Now if their trespass means riches for the world, and if their failure means
riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their full inclusion[a] mean!Romans 15:29 - 29 I know that when I come to you I will come in the fullness of the blessing [a] of
Christ.Galatians 4:4 - 4 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman,
born under the law,1 Corinthians 10:26 - 26 For “the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof.”Mark 6:43 - 43 And they took up twelve baskets full of broken pieces and of the fish.
