The Unity of the Body

4 [^LTherefore,] As a prisoner [3:1] ·for [because I belong to; or in] the Lord, I urge you to ·live [walk] in a manner worthy of the calling ·you have received [^Lto which you were called]. ² ·Always be [or Be completely] humble, gentle, and patient, ·accepting [putting up/bearing with] each other in love. ³ Make every effort to preserve the unity ·of [provided by; available through] the Spirit ·in [through] the ·peace that joins us together [^Lbond of peace]. ⁴ There is one body and one Spirit, and God called you to ·have one hope [^Lone hope of your calling]. ⁵ There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism. ⁶ There is one God and Father of everything. ·He rules everything and is everywhere and is in everything [^L…who is over all and through all and in all].
