One God and Father of all who is over all and through all And in us all but to each one of us The grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ Therefore he says When he ascended on high He led captivity captive and gave gifts to people
He gave some to be apostles and some prophets And some evangelists and some shepherds and teachers For the perfecting of the saints

That we may no longer be children tossed back and forth Carried about with every wind of doctrine But speaking truth in love May we grow up in all things into him who is the head Christ
From whom all the body fitted and knit together Through that which every joint supplies According to the working in measure of each individual part Makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love
