Ephesians 4:4-12
New International Version
4 There is one body(A) and one Spirit,(B) just as you were called to one hope when you were called(C); 5 one Lord,(D) one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all,(E) who is over all and through all and in all.(F)
7 But to each one of us(G) grace(H) has been given(I) as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it[a] says:
9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended(L) higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)(M) 11 So Christ himself gave(N) the apostles,(O) the prophets,(P) the evangelists,(Q) the pastors and teachers,(R) 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ(S) may be built up(T)
