Ephesians 4:5

CONTEXT- The unity of the One Body

Ephesians 4:1-6

1 Therefore, I, a prisoner of the lord, lovingly implore you that you walk worthy of the calling wherewith you are called, 2 in all lowliness of mind and quietness with patience, holding one another up in love 3 and diligently safeguarding the unity of the spirit in the bond which is peace, 4 that you will be in one Body and in one spirit even as you are called in one Hope of your calling. 5 one lord, one faith, one
baptism, 6 one God, the Father of all, Who is above all and through all and in all.
