Ephesians

Walk worthy of the calling: to be perfect in love

  1. I therefore encourage you, I, the prisoner of the Lord
    to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called
  2. that we might no longer be infants
    15. but rather practising the truth in love
          we may grow up into him in all things
          who is the head, Christ
          according to the working by measure of each individual part
          bringing about the growth of the body
          for the building up of itself in love

How does this happen?

B. Which can only happen through unity of the body

B. unity of the body

  1. This then I say, and bear witness in the Lord
    that no-longer you should walk in the way the Gentiles walk
          in the futility of their minds

  3. And walk in love, just as Christ loved us
          and gave himself up for us, an offering and sacrifice to God for a fragrant aroma.
