Ephesians 4:10-13

10He who descended is Himself also He who ascended 1far above all the heavens, so that He might 2fill all things.)

11And He 3gave 4some as apostles, some as prophets, some as 5evangelists, some as 6pastors and 7teachers,

128for the equipping of the 9saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of 10the body of Christ;

13until we all attain to 11the unity of the faith, and of the 1213knowledge of the Son of God, to a 14mature man, to the measure of the stature 15which belongs to the 16fullness of Christ.
