1 As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
2 With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you have been marked out by God in the one hope of his purpose for you;
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
6 One God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
