- And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
- for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ;
- until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.
- As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;
- but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,
