Ephesians 4:2-16

2with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearingG430 with oneG240 another in loveG26;

3using diligence to keepG5083 the unity of the SpiritG4151 in the uniting bondG4886 of peaceG1515.

4[There is] oneG1520 bodyG4983 and oneG1520 SpiritG4151, as ye have been alsoG2532 calledG2564 in oneG1520 hopeG1680 of your callingG2821;

5oneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG1520 baptismG908;

6oneG1520 1GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.

7But to each oneG1520 of us has been givenG1325 graceG5485 accordingG2596 to the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of the ChristG5547.

8Wherefore he saysG3004, Having ascendedG305 up on highG5311, he has led captivityG161 captive, and has givenG1325 giftsG1390 to menG444.

9But that he ascendedG305, what isG1510 it but that he alsoG2532 descendedG2597 into the lower partsG3313 of the earthG1093?

10He that descendedG2597 isG1510 the sameG846 who has alsoG2532 ascendedG305 up above all the heavensG3772, that he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956;

11and he has givenG1325 some apostlesG652, and some prophetsG4396, and some evangelistsG2099, and some shepherdsG4166 and teachersG1320,

12for the perfecting of the saintsG40; with a view to [the] workG2041 of [the] ministryG1248, with a view to the edifying of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547;

13until we all arrive at the unity of the faithG4102 and of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of 2GodG2316, at [the] full-grown manG435, at [the] measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulness of the ChristG5547;

14in orderG2443 that we may beG1510 noG3371 longerG3371 babes, tossed and carried about by every windG417 of that teachingG1319 [which isG1510] in the sleight of menG444, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized errorG4106;

15but, holding the truthG226 in loveG26, we may growG837 up to him in all thingsG3956, who isG1510 the headG2776, the ChristG5547:

16from whom the whole bodyG4983, fitted togetherG4822, and connected by every joint of supply, accordingG2596 to [the] working in [its] measureG3358 of each oneG1520 partG3313, works for itself the increase of the bodyG4983 to its self-building up in loveG26.
