* I exhort therefore you , I the prisoner in Lord , worthily to walk of the calling with which you were called , * with all humility and gentleness , with patience ; bearing with each other in love , Ephesians * using diligence to keep the oneness of the spirit by the uniting bond of the peace . Ephesians * One body and one spirit , even as also you were called in one hope of the calling of you ; * one Lord , one faith , one dipping , * one God and Father of all , he over all and through all and in all to us . * To one but each one of us was given the favor according to the measure of the free gift of the Anointed . * (Therefore it says : Having ascended on high he captivated captivity , and he gave gifts to the men . * This but , he ascended , what is it , if not that also he descended into the lower parts of the earth ? * The one having descended , he is also the one having ascended far above all of thew heavens , so that he might fill the all things ). * And he gave the indeed apostles , the and prophets , the and evangelists , the and shepherds and teachers , * for the complete qualification of the holy ones for a work of service , for a building up of the body of the Anointed ; * till we may attain the all to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the son of the God , to a man perfect , to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Anointed ; * so that no longer we may be babes , being tossed and being whirled about with every wind of the teachings , in the trickery of the men , by cunning with the method of the deceit ; * being truthful but in love , we may grow into him the all things , who is the head , the Anointed ; * from whom all the body , (being fitly joined together and being compacted by means of every joint of the supply according to inworking ,) by a measure of one of each part the growth of the body makes , for a building up of itself in love .
