Ephesians 4:13-14 NLT

[13] This will continue until we all come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s Son that we will be mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete standard of Christ.

Matthew 10:5-8 NLT

[5] Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans,
