Ephesians 4:10-16

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ The one who descended is also the one who ascended far above all the heavens,^(A) to fill all things.^{(B) 11} And he himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, ¹² to equip the saints for the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,^{(C) 13} until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son,^(D) growing into maturity with a stature^(E) measured by Christ’s fullness. ¹⁴ Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching,^(F) by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit. ¹⁵ But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into him who is the head^(G)—Christ. ¹⁶ From him the whole body, fitted and knit together^(H) by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth^(I) of the body for building itself up in love by the proper working of each individual part.
