Ephesians 4:7-16 - "But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his 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.

Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."

A representation of the passage from Ephesians 4:7-16 in digital art. The scene depicts diverse groups of people, Caucasian, Hispanic, Black, Middle-Eastern, South Asian, White, each receiving gifts and teachings. In the foreground, envision a figure symbolizing Christ, extending an offering to his people. Below him, there's an implication of descent towards earthly realms, while above, the ascension is portrayed higher than the celestial sphere, stretching towards the expanse of the universe. Shifting elements of water and wind depict the metaphorical infants being tossed, while the mature body, composed of interlinking parts, gradually builds itself up in a fully realized embodiment of unity.
