1 Therefore I bound for the Lord beseech you, that ye walk worthily in the calling, in which ye be called,
2 with all meekness and mildness, with patience supporting each other in charity,
3 busy to keep unity of Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 One body and one Spirit, as ye be called in one hope of your calling;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, which is above all men, and by all things, and in us all.
7 But to each of us grace is given by [or after] the measure of the giving of Christ;
8 for which thing he saith, He ascending on high, led captivity captive, he gave gifts to men.
9 But what is it, that he went up [or ascended], no but that also he came down first into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He it is that came down, and that ascended [or went up] on all heavens, that he should fill all things.
11 And he gave some apostles, some prophets, others evangelists, others shepherds and teachers,
12 to the full ending of saints, into the work of ministry, into [the] edification of Christ’s body,
