I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2
with all lowliness and humility, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love;
3
being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4
There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling;
5
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6
one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
7
But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8
Therefore he says, "When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."
