Ephesians 4:16

From which

(εξ ου). Out of which as the source of energy and direction.Fitly framed

(συναρμολογουμενον). See Ephesians 2:21 for this verb.Through that which every joint supplieth

(δια πασης αφης της επιχορηγιας). Literally, "through every joint of the supply." See Colossians 2:19 for αφη and Philippians 1:19 for the late word επιχορηγια (only two examples in N.T.) from επιχορηγεω, to supply (Colossians 2:19).In due measure

(εν μετρω). Just "in measure" in the Greek, but the assumption is that each part of the body functions properly in its own sphere.Unto the building up of itself

(εις οικοδομην εαυτου). Modern knowledge of cell life in the human body greatly strengthens the force of Paul's metaphor. This is the way the body grows by cooperation under the control of the head and all "in love" (εν αγαπη).
