Believers are thus members one of another; and also members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones, and the Lord nourishes and cherishes them. Further, as the ascended and glorified Head, “He gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, and for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”
