Scripture Summary:

In Ephesians 4:1–16, Paul urges believers to live worthy of their calling by walking in humility, gentleness, patience, and love, striving to maintain the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. He emphasizes that there is one body, one Spirit, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. Though united, each believer has been given grace according to Christ's gift, and Paul explains that Christ gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ. The goal is for believers to reach unity in the faith, spiritual maturity, and become more like Christ. Paul contrasts this maturity with spiritual immaturity, urging believers to grow in truth and love, so that the whole body, joined and held together, grows and builds itself up in love.
