12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
12
to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
13
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
