Ephesians 4:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 [a]As a result, 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 people, by (C)craftiness [b]in (D)deceitful scheming; 15 but [c]speaking the truth (E)in love, [d]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 fitted and held together [e]by what every joint supplies, according to the [f]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself (I)in love.

Revised Standard Version
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles. 15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love.
