Ephesians 4:15

Verse 15 of 32. The 4th of 6 chapters in Ephesians, in The Letters of Paul.

11He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

12for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

14that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

15but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

16from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

18being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.

19They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
