14That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;Select Ephesians 4:14
15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:Select Ephesians 4:15
16From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.Select Ephesians 4:16
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,Select Ephesians 4:17
18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:Select Ephesians 4:18
