¹² we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and ^(A)charged ^(B)you to walk in a manner worthy of God, ^(C)who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

Unity in the Body of Christ

4 I therefore, ^(A)a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to ^(B)walk in a manner worthy of ^(C)the calling to which you have been called,

⁶ whoever says he ^(A)abides in him ^(B)ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.

^6 (A)If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and ^(B)do not practice the truth. ⁷ But ^(C)if we walk in the light, ^(D)as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and ^(E)the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

^24 (A)He who calls you is faithful; ^(B)he will surely do it.

¹⁰ And ^(A)after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, ^(B)who has called you to his ^(C)eternal glory in Christ, will himself ^(D)restore, ^(E)confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

⁹ But you are ^(A)a chosen race, ^(B)a royal ^(C)priesthood, ^(D)a holy nation, ^(E)a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you ^(F)out of darkness into ^(G)his marvelous light.

^9 (A)Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, ^(B)bless, for ^(C)to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing.

¹⁵ but ^(A)as he who called you is holy, you also be holy ^(B)in all your conduct, ¹⁶ since it is written, ^(C)“You shall be holy, for I am holy.”
