3 to preserve the unity of the Spirit by binding peace upon yourselves.
4 For there is one Body and one Spirit — as you were called for the one hope that belongs to your call —
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over us all, who pervades us all, who is within us all.
7 But each one of us is granted his own grace, as determined by the full measure of Christ's gift.
8 Thus it is said, When he ascended on high he led a host captive and granted gifts to men.
9 What does he ascended mean, except that he first descended to the nether regions of the earth?
10 He who descended is he who ascended above all the heavens to fill the universe;
11 he granted some men to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, some to shepherd and teach,
12 for the equipment of the saints, for the business of the ministry, for the upbuilding of the Body of Christ,
13 till we should all attain the unity of the faith and knowledge of God's Son, reaching maturity, reaching the full measure of development which belongs to the fulness of Christ —
14 instead of remaining immature, blown from our course and swayed by every passing wind of doctrine, by the adroitness of men who are dexterous in devising error;
15 we are to hold by the truth, and by our love to grow up wholly into Him. For He, Christ, is the head, and under him,
16 as the entire Body is welded together and compacted by every joint with which it is supplied, the due activity of each part enables the Body to grow and build itself up in love.
