Ephesians 4:1-3
“I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
The Apostle Paul, writing from prison around the early 60s CE, addresses the church in Ephesus, a significant city in Asia Minor. After spending the first three chapters describing God's grand plan to unite all things in Christ, Paul now transitions to practical exhortations for daily life, beginning with an appeal for unity within the community.
