Ephesians 4:12-16
New International Version
Ephesians 4:12-16
New International Version
12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ(A) may be built up(B) 13 until we all reach unity(C) in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God(D) and become mature,(E) attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(F)
14 Then we will no longer be infants,(G) tossed back and forth by the waves,(H) and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.(I) 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love,(J) we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,(K) that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows(L) and builds itself up(M) in love,(N) as each part does its work.

Ephesians 4:12-16
King James Version
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in 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 fulness of Christ:
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.
