evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip
the saints for the work of ministry, for building up
the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of

to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature
of the fullness of Christ,

and fro by the waves and carried about by every

in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in
love, we are to grow up in every way into him who
is the head, into Christ,” - Ephesians 4:11–15
