So Christ himself gave the APOSTLES, the PROPHETS, the EVANGELISTS, the PASTORS & TEACHERS, TO EQUIP HIS PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith & in the knowledge of the Son of God & become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
THEN WE WILL NO LONGER BE INFANTS, TOSSED BACK & FORTH BY THE WAVES, & BLOWN HERE & THERE BY EVERY WIND OF TEACHING & BY THE CUNNING & CRAFTINESS OF PEOPLE IN THEIR DECEITFUL SCHEMING. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined & held together by every supporting ligament, grows & builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Ephesians 4:11-16
