παρακαλω ουν υμας εγω ο δεσμιος εν κυριω αξιως περιπατησαι της κλησεως ης εκληθητε

μετα πασης ταπεινοφροσυνης και πραοτητος μετα μακροθυμιας ανεχομενοι αλληλων εν αγαπη

σπουδαζοντες τηρειν την ενοτητα του πνευματος εν τω συνδεσμω της ειρηνης

εν σωμα και εν πνευμα καθως και εκληθητε εν μια ελπιδι της κλησεως υμων

εις κυριος μια πιστις εν βαπτισμα

εις θεος και πατηρ παντων ο επι παντων και δια παντων και εν πασιν υμιν

ενι δε εκαστω ημων εδοθη η χαρις κατα το μετρον της δωρεας του χριστου
