Ephesians 4:11-13

11And He 1gave 2some as apostles, some as prophets, some as 3evangelists, some as 4pastors and 5teachers,

126for the equipping of the 7saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of 8the body of Christ;

13until we all attain to 9the unity of the faith, and of the 1011knowledge of the Son of God, to a 12mature man, to the measure of the stature 13which belongs to the 14fullness of Christ.
