- that we might no longer be infants
wave-tossed and blown about by every wind of doctrine
by the trickery of people
who craftily carry out their deceitful schemes
- but rather practising the truth in love
we may grow up into him in all things
who is the head, Christ
- from whom the whole body
fitted (or joined) together (like a body or building)
by what every ligament supplies
according to the working by measure of each individual part
bringing about the growth of the body
for the building up of itself in love
