Ephesians 4:11-14

11And He 1gave 2some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as 3evangelists, and some as pastors and 4teachers,

12 5for the equipping of the 6saints for the work of service, to the building up of 7the body of Christ;

13until we all attain to 8the unity of the faith, and of the 9 10knowledge of the Son of God, to a 11mature man, to the measure of the stature 12which belongs to the 13fullness of Christ.

14 14As a result, we are 15no longer to be children, 16tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by 17craftiness 18in 19deceitful scheming;
