Ephesians 4:12-16

English Standard Version

^12 (A)to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for ^(B)building up ^(C)the body of Christ, ¹³ until we all attain to ^(D)the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, ^(E)to mature manhood,^[a] to the measure of the stature of ^(F)the fullness of Christ, ¹⁴ so that we may no longer be children, ^(G)tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in ^(H)deceitful schemes. ¹⁵ Rather, ^(I)speaking the truth in love, we are to ^(J)grow up in every way into him who is ^(K)the head, into Christ, ^16 (L)from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, ^(M)when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
