I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humili...ty and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one G...od and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
