Ephesians:4:8-14

*
Wherefore he saith ,
When he ascended up on high ,
he led captivity captive ,
and gave gifts unto men .
* (
Now that he ascended ,
what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth ?
*
He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens ,
that he might fill all things .)
*
And he gave some ,
apostles ;
and some ,
prophets ;
and some ,
evangelists ;
and some ,
pastors and teachers ;
*
For the perfecting of the saints ,
for the work of the ministry ,
for the edifying of the body of Christ :
*
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 :
*
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 ;
