From whom the whole body being fitly joined together and knit together by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:16 Go To Ephesians 4
Jerome
AD 420
This entire upbuilding, by which the body of the church increases cell by cell, is being accomplished through the mutual love of one for another…. This does not imply that to each member will be distributed the same level of maturity. It is an error to assume, for example, that all human beings will be formed anew into angels. Rather every member will be perfected according to its own distinctive measure and function. Humanity, which has been expelled from paradise, will be restored to the cultivation of paradise again. .
