Ephesians 4:13-16

13until we all attain to 1the unity of the faith, and of the 2 3knowledge of the Son of God, to a 4mature man, to the measure of the stature 5which belongs to the 6fullness of Christ. 14 7As a result, we are 8no longer to be children, 9tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by 10craftiness 11in 12deceitful scheming; 15but 13speaking the truth 14in love, 15we are to 16grow up in all aspects into Him who is the 17head, even Christ, 16from whom 18the whole body, being fitted and held together 19by what every joint supplies, according to the 20proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself 21in love.
