⁴ There is ^(A)one body and ^(B)one Spirit—just as you were called to the one ^(C)hope that belongs to your call— ^5 (D)one Lord, ^(E)one faith, ^(F)one baptism, ^6 (G)one God and Father of all, ^(H)who is over all and through all and in all.

^4 (A)even as he ^(B)chose us in him ^(C)before the foundation of the world, that we should be ^(D)holy and blameless before him. In love

¹⁵ that you may be blameless and innocent, ^(A)children of God ^(B)without blemish ^(C)in the midst of ^(D)a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine ^(E)as lights in the world,

^30 (A)The times of ignorance ^(B)God overlooked, but ^(C)now he ^(D)commands all people everywhere to repent,

⁷ For who sees anything different in you? ^(A)What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

¹⁵ So then, brothers, ^(A)stand firm and hold to ^(B)the traditions that you were taught by us, either ^(C)by our spoken word or by ^(D)our letter.

Warning Against Idleness

⁶ Now we command you, brothers, ^(A)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(B)that you keep away from any ^(C)brother ^(D)who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.

¹⁸ And I tell you, ^(A)you are Peter, and ^(B)on this rock^[a] I will build my church, and ^(C)the gates of ^(D)hell^[b] shall not prevail against it. ¹⁹ I will give you ^(E)the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and ^(F)whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed^[c] in heaven.”
