Matthew(i)
7 Vnto euery one of vs is geuen grace accordinge to the measure of the gyfte of Christ.
8 Wherfore he sayth: He is gone vp on hye, and had led captiuitie captiue, and hath geuen gyftes vnto men.
9 That he ascended, what meaneth it, but that he also descended fyrste into the loweste parties of the earth?
10 He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp euen aboue all heauens, to fulfyll al thinges.
11 And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some sheperdes, some teachers,
12 that the saynctes myghte haue all thinges necessarye to worke and ministre wythal, to the edifiynge of the bodye of Christ,
13 tyl we euerie one (in the vnitie of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God) growe vp into a perfecte man, after the measure of age of the fulnes of Christ.
