Vlookup not using awk

Hi I just want again to ask for help on what command to use to vlookup f1 group name in "/etc/group" matching f3 of it to "/etc/passwd" f4. I do need to display group name in the output of /etc/passwd without using awk or NR==FNR command. thank you

Code:
while
IFS=: read -r f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 f7
IFS=: read -r f1 f2 f3
do
printf "%-20s %-10s %s \n" "$f1" "$f3" "$f6";
done </etc/passwd # </etc/group

Who forbids to use awk? Is this a homework / classwork exercise, to which special rules apply?
