Ephesians 4:13-15
New American Standard Bible

13 until we all attain to (A)the unity of the faith, and of the [a](B)knowledge of the Son of God, to a (C)mature man, to the measure of the stature [b]which belongs to the (D)fullness of Christ. 14 [c]As a result, we are (E)no longer to be children, (F)tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by (G)craftiness [d]in (H)deceitful scheming; 15 but [e]speaking the truth (I)in love, [f]we are to (J)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the (K)head, that is, Christ,

Ephesians 4:13-15
New International Version

13 until we all reach unity(A) in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God(B) and become mature,(C) attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(D)

14 Then we will no longer be infants,(E) tossed back and forth by the waves,(F) and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.(G) 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love,(H) we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,(I) that is, Christ.

Ephesians 4:13-15
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [[a]full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

14 So then, we may no longer be children, tossed [like ships] to and fro between chance gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of [b]unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.

15 Rather, let our lives lovingly [c]express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
