until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;

But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Therefore he says, "Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."
