Seeker Overlay ON
*
Endeavouring (
5723 )
to keep (
5721 )
the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace .
*
There is one body ,
and one Spirit ,
even as ye are called (
5681 )
in one hope of your calling ;
*
One Lord ,
one faith ,
one baptism ,
*
One God and Father of all ,
who is above all ,
and through all ,
and in you all .
*
But unto every one of us is given (
5681 )
grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ .
*
Wherefore he saith (
5719 ),
When he ascended (
5631 )
up on high ,
he led captivity (
5656 )
captive ,
and gave (
5656 )
gifts unto men .
* (
Now that he ascended (
5627 ),
what is it (
5748 )
but that he also descended (
5627 )
first into the lower parts of the earth ?
*
He that descended (
5631 )
is (
5748 )
the same also that ascended up (
5631 )
far above all heavens ,
that he might fill (
5661 )
all things .)
*
And he gave (
5656 )
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 (
5661 )
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 (
5753 )
no more children ,
tossed to and fro (
5740 ),
and carried about with (
5746 )
every wind of doctrine ,
by the sleight of men ,
and cunning craftiness ,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive ;
*
But speaking the truth (
5723 )
in love ,
may grow up (
5661 )
into him in all things ,
which is (
5748 )
the head ,
even Christ :
*
From whom the whole body fitly joined together (
5746 )
and compacted (
5746 )
by that which every joint supplieth ,
according to the effectual working in the measure of every part ,
maketh (
5731 )
increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love .
