Unity of the Spirit

4 Therefore I, ^(A)the prisoner of the Lord, ^(B)implore 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, showing tolerance for one another ^(G)in love, ³ being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the ^(H)bond of peace.

¹¹ And He ^(A)gave ^(B)some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as ^(C)evangelists, and some as pastors and ^(D)teachers, ^12 (E)for the equipping of the ^[a]saints for the work of service, to the building up of ^(F)the body of Christ; ¹³ until we all attain to ^(G)the unity of the faith, and of the ^[b](H)knowledge of the Son of God, to a ^(I)mature man, to the measure of the stature ^[c]which belongs to the ^(J)fullness of Christ. ^14 [d]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 men, by ^(M)craftiness ^[e]in ^(N)deceitful scheming; ¹⁵ but ^[f]speaking the truth ^(O)in love, ^[g]we are to ^(P)grow up in all aspects into Him who is the ^(Q)head, even Christ, ¹⁶ from whom ^(R)the whole body, being fitted and held together ^[h]by what every joint supplies, according to the ^[i]proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself ^(S)in love.
