Spiritual Gifts-Ephesians 4:7-16

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

Therefore he says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gift to men"

(Now this, "He ascended "-what does it mean but that he also first descended into the lower part of the earth?

He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heaven, that He might fill all things.)

And He himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 

for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ, 

till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:

that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

but speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things unto Him who is the head-Christ 

from whom the whole body, join and knit together by what ever joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, cause growth of the body for the edifying  of itself in love.
