Lesson
from the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Ephesians 4:1-7
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the
calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with
longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity
of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your
calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is
above all, and through all, and in you all. But to each one of us grace was
given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
