John Wesley's Notes
In this verse is noted the office of ministers; in Ephesians 4:13, the aim of the saints; in Ephesians 4:14-16, the way of growing in grace. And each of these has three parts, standing in the same order. For the perfecting the saints - The completing them both in number and their various gifts and graces. To the work of the ministry - The serving God and his church in their various ministrations. To the edifying of the body of Christ - The building up this his mystical body in faith, love, holiness.
