Ephesians 4:14-16
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine by people’s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming;(A) 15 but speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,(B) 16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body’s growth in building itself up in love.
