Ephesians 4:12-15

12 1for the equipping of the 2saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of 3the body of Christ;

13until we all attain to 4the unity of the faith, and of the 5 6knowledge of the Son of God, to a 7mature man, to the measure of the stature 8which belongs to the 9fullness of Christ.

14 10As a result, we are 11no longer to be children, 12tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by 13craftiness 14in 15deceitful scheming;

15but 16speaking the truth 17in love, 18we are to 19grow up in all aspects into Him who is the 20head, that is, Christ,
