New King James Version
14 that we should no longer be (A)children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of (B)deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the (C)head—Christ— 16 (D)from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

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.

Ephesians 4:14-16
King James Version
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
