"To prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ." (NIV)
"My purpose is that they
may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may
have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they
may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge". (NIV)
