121for the equippingG2677 of the 2saintsG40 for the workG2041 of serviceG1248, to the buildingG3619 up of 3the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547;
13untilG3360 we allG3956 attainG2658 to 4the unityG1775 of the faithG4102, and of the 56knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, to a 7matureG5046 manG435, to the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 8which belongs to the 9fullnessG4138 of ChristG5547.
1410As a resultG2443, we are 11noG3371 longerG3371 to be childrenG3516, 12tossedG2831 hereG2831 and thereG2831 by wavesG2831 and carriedG4064 aboutG4064 by everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG1319, by the trickeryG2940 of menG444, by 13craftinessG3834 14in 15deceitfulG4106 schemingG3180;
15but 16speakingG226 the truthG226 17in loveG26, 18we are to 19growG837 up in allG3956 aspects into Him whoG3739 is the 20headG2776, even ChristG5547,
