ACC ~ Ephesians 4 v16b

BODILY GROWTH INCREASES THROUGH THE PROPORTIONAL DISTRIBUTION OF GIFTS. CHRYSOSTOM: One might say that the whole body receives increase as each member partakes of the distribution of gifts proportionally. In this way … the members, receiving the distribution in accordance with their own capacities, are thus increased. The Spirit, flowing abundantly from above, comes into contact with all the limbs and distributes according to the ability of each one to receive, thus “enabling bodily growth.” OMILY ON EPHESIANS 11.4.15-16.

EACH PART WILL BE RESTORED TOGETHER. JEROME: 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. EPISTLE TO THE EPHESIANS 2.4.16.
