*
And He Himself gave some to be apostles ,
some prophets ,
some evangelists ,
and some pastors and teachers ,
*
for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry ,
for the edifying of the body of Christ ,
*
till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God ,
to a perfect man ,
to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ ;
*
that we should no longer be children ,
tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine ,
by the trickery of men ,
in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting ,
*
but ,
speaking the truth in love ,
may grow up in all things into Him who is the head--Christ --
*
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 .
*
This I say ,
therefore ,
and testify in the Lord ,
that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk ,
in the futility of their mind ,
