11 The gifts he gave were so that some could be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers,12 with the purpose of preparing God's people for the work of helping others, to help the body of Christ to grow.13 We grow together until we all reach the state of being one in our trust in and knowledge of the Son of God, completely grown up, measuring up to full maturity in Christ.14 We shouldn't be little children any more, tossed about and blown along by every passing breeze of doctrine, confused by human trickery, led into error by crafty people who deceitfully scheme;15 instead by speaking the truth in love we ought to grow up in everything into Christ, who is our head.16 It's because of him that the whole body operates, every joint holding it together as each individual part does what it's supposed to, and the whole body grows, building itself up in love.
