1. Therefore, as a prisoner for the Lord, I encourage you to live as people worthy of the call you received from God.
2. Conduct yourselves with all humility, gentleness, and patience. Accept each other with love,
3. and make an effort to preserve the unity of the Spirit with the peace that ties you together.
4. You are one body and one spirit, just as God also called you in one hope.
5. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6. and one God and Father of all, who is over all, through all, and in all.
7. God has given his grace to each one of us measured out by the gift that is given by Christ.
