Therefore, I urger you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you’ve been called.
urge—implore, ask for earnestly, beg, plead, encourage is part, a desire for one to do something because he knows it’s for their best
walk—behave, live, conduct one’s life, imitate
the calling to which you have been called—to be like Jesus
worthy—characterized by humility, gentleness, patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace
to surrender to Jesus, to give up our rights to ourselves, our plans, total allegiance to the King.
