Unity of the Spirit

4 Therefore I, ^(A)the prisoner of the Lord, ^(B)urge you to ^(C)walk in a manner worthy of the ^(D)calling with which you have been ^(E)called, ² with all ^(F)humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another ^(G)in love, ³ being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the ^(H)bond of peace. ⁴ There is ^(I)one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one ^(J)hope of your calling; ^5 (K)one Lord, one faith, one baptism, ⁶ one God and Father of all ^(L)who is over all and through all and in all.

⁷ But ^(M)to each one of us ^(N)grace was given ^(O)according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

¹¹ And He ^(A)gave ^(B)some as apostles, some as prophets, some as ^(C)evangelists, some as ^[a]pastors and ^(D)teachers, ^12 (E)for the equipping of the ^[b]saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of ^(F)the body of Christ; ¹³ until we all attain to ^(G)the unity of the faith, and of the ^[c](H)knowledge of the Son of God, to a ^(I)mature man, to the measure of the stature ^[d]which belongs to the ^(J)fullness of Christ. ^14 [e]As a result, we are ^(K)no longer to be children, ^(L)tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by ^(M)craftiness ^[f]in ^(N)deceitful scheming; ¹⁵ but ^[g]speaking the truth ^(O)in love, ^[h]we are to ^(P)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the ^(Q)head, that is, Christ, ¹⁶ from whom ^(R)the whole body, being fitted and held together ^[i]by what every joint supplies, according to the ^[j]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself ^(S)in love.
