Ephesians 4:11-16 (New American Standard)
11
And He 1gave 2some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as 3evangelists, and some as pastors and 4teachers,
12
5for the equipping of the asaints for the work of service, to the building up of 6the body of Christ ;
13
until we all attain to 7the unity of the faith, and of the b8knowledge of the Son of God, to a 9mature man, to the measure of the stature cwhich belongs to the 10fullness of Christ.
14
dAs a result, we are 11no longer to be children, 12tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by 13craftiness ein 14deceitful scheming ;
15
but fspeaking the truth 15in love, gwe are to 16grow up in all aspects into Him who is the 17head, even Christ,
16
from whom 18the whole body, being fitted and held together hby what every joint supplies, according to the iproper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself 19in love.
