Paul's challenge

 Ephesians 4 

1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you 

to lead a life worthy of your calling, 

for you have been called by God. 

2 Always be humble and gentle. 

Be patient with each other, 

making allowance for each other’s faults 

because of your love. 

3 Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, 

binding yourselves together with peace. 

4 For there is one body 

and one Spirit, 

just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.

5 There is one Lord,

one faith,

one baptism,

6 one God & Father of all,

who is over all, 

in all, & living through all.

7 However, he has given each one of us a special gift

 through the generosity of Christ.
