Stand complete – Ephesians 4:11-15
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity (oneness) of the faith (firm, pursuant, conviction), and (even) of the knowledge (perfect knowledge) of the Son (the heir) of God, unto (motion to) a perfect (complete) man, unto (motion to) the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be (may be) no more (no longer) children (not old enough to speak), tossed to and fro (surging about as waves), and carried about (born hither and thither) with every wind (air in motion) of doctrine (the teaching), by (remianing within) the sleight (entrapping by deceit) of men, and cunning craftiness (with subtlety), whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth (truthing it) in love, may grow up into him in all things, which (who) is the head, even Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted (knit together, to join) by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working (power in action) in the measure (measure of context, standard) of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
