4:1 | And so, as a prisoner in the Lord, I beg you to walk in a manner worthy of the vocation to which you have been called: |
4:2 | with all humility and meekness, with patience, supporting one another in charity. |
4:3 | Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace. |
4:4 | One body and one Spirit: to this you have been called by the one hope of your calling: |
4:5 | one Lord, one faith, one baptism, |
4:6 | one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all. |
4:7 | Yet to each one of us there has been given grace according to the measure allotted by Christ. |
4:11 | And the same one granted that some would be Apostles, and some Prophets, yet truly others evangelists, and others pastors and teachers, |
4:12 | for the sake of the perfection of the saints, by the work of the ministry, in the edification of the body of Christ, |
4:13 | until we all meet in the unity of faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as a perfect man, in the measure of the age of the fullness of Christ. |
