Ephesians 4:7-13

21st Century King James Version

⁷ But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

⁸ Therefore He saith, “When He ascended up on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.”

⁹ (Now the saying, “He ascended” — what does it mean but that He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

¹⁰ He that descended is the same who also ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.)

¹¹ And He gave some to be apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

¹² for the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry, and for the edifying of the body of Christ,

¹³ until we all come into the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
