{For the perfecting} (pros ton katartismon). Late and rare
word (in Galen in medical sense, in papyri for house-furnishing),
only here in N.T., though katartisis in  2Co 13:9 , both from
katartiz(935c), to mend ( Mt 4:21  Ga 6:1 ). "For the mending
(repair) of the saints." {Unto the building up} (eis
oikodom(886e)). See  2:21 . This is the ultimate goal in all these
varied gifts, "building up."
