Ephesians 4:1-8 ▼

1 As a prisoner in the Lord {Kyriō}, then, I urge you⁺ to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you⁺ have received:

2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love {agapē},

3 and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit {Pneumatos} through the bond of peace.

4 There is one body and one Spirit {Pneuma}, just as you⁺ were called to one hope when you⁺ were called;

5 one Lord {Kyrios}, one faith, one baptism (submersion);

6 one God {Theos} and Father {Patēr} of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

7 Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ (the Anointed One).

8 This is why it says (He says): “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men .”
