Ephesians 4:2-16

2withG3326 allG3956 humilityG5012 andG2532 gentlenessG4240, withG3326 patienceG3115, bearing withG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26, 3and with diligenceG4704 to preserveG5083 theG3588 unityG1775 of theG3588 SpiritG4151 throughG1722 theG3588 bondG4886 of peaceG1515.

4There is oneG1520 bodyG4983 andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, just asG2531G2532 you were calledG2564 toG1722 oneG1520 hopeG1680 when youG4771 were calledG2821; 5oneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG1520 baptismG908; 6oneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is overG1909 allG3956 andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956 andG2532 inG1722 allG3956.

7NowG1161 to eachG1538 oneG1520 of usG1473 graceG5485 has been givenG1325 according toG2596 theG3588 measureG3358 of theG3588 giftG1431 of ChristG5547. 8This is whyG1352 it saysG3004:1

WhatG5101 does “He ascendedG305” mean, exceptG1487G3361 thatG3754 He also descendedG2532G25973 toG1519 theG3588 lowerG2737 partsG3313 of theG3588 earthG1093? 10He whoG3588 descendedG2597 isG1510 the veryG2532G846 One who ascendedG305 aboveG5231 allG3956 theG3588 heavensG3772, in orderG2443 to fillG4137 all thingsG3956.

11AndG2532 it was He whoG846 gaveG1325 someG3588 to be apostlesG652, someG3588 to be prophetsG4396, someG3588 to be evangelistsG2099, andG1161 someG3588 to be pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320, 12to equipG4314G3588G2677 theG3588 saintsG40 forG1519 worksG2041 of ministryG1248 and to build upG3619 theG3588 bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, 13untilG3360 we all reachG3956G2658G1519 unityG1775 in theG3588 faithG4102 andG2532 in theG3588 knowledgeG1922 of theG3588 SonG5207 of GodG2316, as we matureG1519G435G5046 toG1519 theG3588 fullG4138 measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of ChristG5547.

14ThenG2443 we will no longerG3371 beG1510 infantsG3516, tossed about by the wavesG2831 andG2532 carried aroundG4064 by everyG3956 windG417 of teachingG1319 and byG1722 theG3588 cleverG1722G3834 cunningG2940 of menG444 inG4314 their deceitfulG3588G4106 schemingG3180. 15InsteadG1161, speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, we will inG3588 all thingsG3956 grow upG837 intoG1519 ChristG5547 HimselfG846, whoG3739 isG1510 theG3588 headG2776. 16FromG1537 Him theG3588 wholeG3956 bodyG4983, fittedG4883 andG2532 held togetherG4822 byG1223 everyG3956 supportingG3588G2024 ligamentG860, growsG838 and builds itself upG3619G1438 inG1722 loveG26 throughG2596 the workG1753 of eachG1722G3358G1538 individualG1520 partG3313.
