Ephesians 4:7-13

7But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

8Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he captured captives; he gave gifts to men.”

9Now what is the meaning of “he ascended,” except that he also descended to the lower regions, namely, the earth?

10He, the very one who descended, is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.

11It was he who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

12to equip the saints for the work of ministry, that is, to build up the body of Christ,

13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God – a mature person, attaining to the measure of Christ’s full stature.
