Ephesians 4:7-13

7Now grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

8For it says: When he ascended on high, he took the captives captive; he gave gifts to people.

9But what does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower parts of the earth?

10The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens, to fill all things.

11And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

12to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son, growing into maturity with a stature measured by Christ’s fullness.
