Unity in the Body of Christ

4I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,G1473G3767G1198G1722G2962G3870G5209G4043G516G2821G3739G2564 2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,G3326G3956G5012G2532G4236G3326G3115G430G240G1722G26 3eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.G4704G5083G1775G4151G1722G4886G1515 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—G1520G4983G2532G1520G4151G2531G2532G2564G1722G3391G1680G5216G2821 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,G1520G2962G1520G4102G3391G908 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.G1520G2316G2532G3962G3956G3588G1909G3956G2532G1223G3956G2532G1722G5213G3956 7But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.G1161G1538G1520G2257G1325G5485G2596G3358G1431G5547 8Therefore it says, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."G1352G3004G305G1519G5311G162G161G2532G1325G1390G444 9(In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?G1161G305G5101G2076G1508G3754G2597G2532G2597G4412G1519G2737G3313G1093 10He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)G846G2597G2076G2532G305G5231G3956G3772G2443G4137G3956 11And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,G2532G846G1325G3303G652G1161G4396G1161G2099G1161G4166G2532G1320 12to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,G4314G2677G40G1519G2041G1248G1519G3619G4983G5547 13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,G3360G3956G2658G1519G1775G4102G2532G1922G5207G2316G1519G5046G435G1519G3358G2244G4138G5547 14so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.G2443G5600G3371G3516G2831G2532G4064G3956G417G1319G1722G2940G444G1722G3834G4314G3180G4106 15Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,G1161G226G1722G26G837G1519G846G3956G3739G2076G2776G5547 16from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.G1537G3739G3956G4983G4883G2532G4822G1223G3956G860G2024G2596G1753G1722G3358G1538G1520G3313G4160G838G4983G1519G3619G1438G1722G26

The New Life

17Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds.G5124G3004G3767G2532G3143G1722G2962G5209G3371G4043G3371G2531G2532G3062G1484G4043G1722G3153G846G3563 18They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.G1271G4654G5607G526G2222G2316G1223G52G5607G1722G846G1223G4457G846G2588 19They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.G3748G524G3860G1438G3860G766G1519G2039G3956G167G1722G4124 20But that is not the way you learned Christ!—G1161G5210G3129G3756G3779G3129G5547 21assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,G1489G191G846G2532G1321G1722G846G2531G225G2076G1722G2424 22to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,G5209G659G2596G4387G391G3820G444G3588G5351G2596G539G1939 23and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,G1161G365G4151G5216G3563 24and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.G2532G1746G2537G444G3588G2596G2316G2936G1722G1343G2532G225G3742 25Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.G1352G659G5579G2980G1538G225G3326G846G4139G3754G2070G3196G240 26Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,G3710G2532G264G3361G1931G3361G2246G1931G1909G5216G3950 27and give no opportunity to the devil.G3383G1325G5117G1228 28Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.G2813G2813G2813G3371G1161G3123G2872G2038G5495G18G2443G2192G3330G5532G2192 29Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.G4550G3361G3956G4550G3056G1607G1537G5216G4750G235G1536G18G4314G5532G3619G2443G1325G5485G191 30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.G2532G3076G3361G40G4151G2316G1722G3739G4972G1519G2250G629 31Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.G142G3956G4088G2532G2372G2532G3709G2532G2906G2532G988G142G575G5216G4862G3956G2549 32Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.G1161G1096G5543G1519G240G2155G5483G1438G2531G2532G2316G1722G5547G1722G5483G5213
