Ephesians 4:7-16  (New Revised Standard Version)<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

7 <\/sup>But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ\u2019s gift. <\/span>8 <\/sup>Therefore it is said,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhen he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive;<\/span>
\n    <\/span>he gave gifts to his people.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

9 <\/sup>(When it says, \u201cHe ascended,\u201d what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? <\/span>10 <\/sup>He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.) <\/span>11 <\/sup>The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, <\/span>12 <\/sup>to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, <\/span>13 <\/sup>until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. <\/span>14 <\/sup>We must no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of doctrine, by people\u2019s trickery, by their craftiness in deceitful scheming. <\/span>15 <\/sup>But speaking the truth in love, we must grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, <\/span>16 <\/sup>from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every ligament with which it is equipped, as each part is working properly, promotes the body\u2019s growth in building itself up in love.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
