Ephesians 4:1

Compare all

Walk in Unity

1 I, therefore, the prisoner¹ of the Lord, beseech you to ^awalk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit ^ain the bond of peace.

4 ^aThere is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

5 ^aone Lord, ^bone faith, ^cone baptism;

6 ^aone God and Father of all, who is above all, and ^bthrough all, and in you all.

Spiritual Gifts

7 But ^ato each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

8 Therefore He says:
^a“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”

9 ^a(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also¹ first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

10 He who descended is also the One ^awho ascended far above all the heavens, ^bthat He might fill all things.)

11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, ^afor the edifying of ^bthe body of Christ,

13 till we all come to the unity of the faith ^aand of the knowledge of the Son of God, to ^ba perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
