Legacy Standard Bible
14 so that we are (A)no longer to be children, (B)tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by (C)craftiness [a]in (D)deceitful scheming, 15 but [b]speaking the truth (E)in love, [c]we are to (F)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the (G)head, that is Christ, 16 from whom (H)the whole body, being joined and held together [d]by what every joint supplies, according to the properly (I)measured working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself (J)in love.

Ephesians 4:14-16
International Standard Version
14 Then we will no longer be little children, tossed like waves and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people’s trickery, or by clever strategies that would lead us astray. 15 Instead, by speaking the truth in love, we will grow up completely and become one with the head, that is, one with the Messiah,[a] 16 in whom the whole body is united and held together by every ligament with which it is supplied. As each individual part does its job, the body builds itself up in love.
