Ephesians 4:2-16
2with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing oneG240 another in loveG26; 3giving diligence to keepG5083 the unity of the SpiritG4151 in the bondG4886 of peaceG1515. 4There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, and oneG1520 SpiritG4151, evenG2532 as alsoG2532 ye were calledG2564 in oneG1520 hopeG1680 of your callingG2821; 5oneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG1520 baptismG908, 6oneG1520 GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all. 7But unto each oneG1520 of us was the graceG5485 givenG1325 accordingG2596 to the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of ChristG5547. 8Wherefore he saith,
9(NowG1161 this, He ascendedG305, what isG1510 it but that he alsoG2532 descendedG2597 into the lower partsG3313 of the earthG1093? 10He that descendedG2597 isG1510 the sameG846 alsoG2532 that ascendedG305 far above all the heavensG3772, that he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) 11And he gaveG1325 some to be apostlesG652; and some, prophetsG4396; and some, evangelistsG2099; and some, pastors and teachersG1320; 12for the perfecting of the saintsG40, unto the workG2041 of ministering, unto the buildingG3619 up of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547: 13till we all attainG2658 unto the unity of the faithG4102, and of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, unto a fullgrown manG435, unto the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulness of ChristG5547: 14that we may beG1510 noG3371 longerG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and fro and carried about with every windG417 of doctrineG1319, by the sleight of menG444, in craftinessG3834, after the wiles of errorG4106; 15but speakingG226 truthG226 in loveG26, may growG837 up in all thingsG3956 into him, who isG1510 the headG2776, even ChristG5547; 16from whom all the bodyG4983 fitly framed and knitG4822 togetherG4822 through that which every joint supplieth, accordingG2596 to the working in due measureG3358 of each several partG3313, maketh the increase of the bodyG4983 unto the buildingG3619 up of itself in loveG26.
