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, ² with all ^(D)humility and ^(E)gentleness, with ^(F)patience, ^(G)bearing with one another in love, ³ eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in ^(H)the bond of peace. ⁴ There is ^(I)one body and ^(J)one Spirit—just as you were called to the one ^(K)hope that belongs to your call— ^5 (L)one Lord, ^(M)one faith, ^(N)one baptism, ^6 (O)one God and Father of all, ^(P)who is over all and through all and in all.

¹³ until we all attain to ^(A)the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, ^(B)to mature manhood,^[a] to the measure of the stature of ^(C)the fullness of Christ, ¹⁴ so that we may no longer be children, ^(D)tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in ^(E)deceitful schemes. ¹⁵ Rather, ^(F)speaking the truth in love, we are to ^(G)grow up in every way into him who is ^(H)the head, into Christ, ^16 (I)from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, ^(J)when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
