Ephesians 4:11-14

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

12 6for 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 10 11knowledge of the Son of God, to a 12mature man, to the measure of the stature 13which belongs to the 14fullness of Christ.

14 15As a result, we are 16no longer to be children, 17tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by 18craftiness 19in 20deceitful scheming;
