Ephesians 4:7-13

Revised Geneva Translation

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

⁸ Therefore it says, “When He ascended upon high, He captured captivity, and gave gifts to man.

⁹ (Now, in that He ascended, what is it but that He had also descended first into the lowest parts of the earth?

¹⁰ He Who descended is also the same Who ascended far above all heavens, so that He might complete all things.)

¹¹ He, indeed, gave some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Evangelists, and some Pastors, and Teachers,

¹² for the preparing of the Saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edification of the body of Christ,

¹³ until we all reach the unity of faith and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature belonging to the fullness of Christ;
