Ephesians 4:11-15

And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers,

for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the body of Christ;

until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;

but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ,
