Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of
the calling you have received. Be completely
humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the
bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you
were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one
faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all
and through all and in all.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ
apportioned it. This is why it says:
“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and gave gifts to his people(What does “he ascended” mean
except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He
who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the
heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the
evangelists, the pastors and teachers,
to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of
Christ may be built up
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the
Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure
of the fullness of Christ.
