Each members of the body shall grow in Christ, with Christ, in His life (being).
This is being built up as the spiritual house of God.
It's disappearing our selves, increasing Christ in the members, the body.
It never mean so called or quoted "relationship" with or among Christians.

Reading this, I thought of Paul's word to Corinth ...
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
Then the apostle made this matter very clear when he said ...
Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.
Witness Lee could talk about
Building Up in his sleep, but whom did he ever love? Whom did he ever treat with respect?
