Unity of the Spirit
Eph 4:1-3 LSB –
[1] Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord, exhort you to walk worthy of the calling with which you have been called,
[2] with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
[3] being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Eph 4:4-6 LSB –
[4] [There is] one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling;
[5] one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
[6] one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
Eph 4:8 LSB – [8] Therefore it says, "WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, [And] HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."
Psa 68:18 LSB – [18] You have ascended on high,
You have led captive [Your] captives;
You have received gifts among men,
Even [among] the rebellious also, that Yah--God--may dwell [there].
Eph 4:11-16 LSB –
[11] And He Himself gave some [as] apostles, and some [as] prophets, and some [as] evangelists, and some [as] pastors and teachers,
[12] for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ,
[13] until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ,
[14] so that we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming,
[15] but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all [aspects] into Him who is the head, [that is] Christ,
[16] from whom the whole body, being joined and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the properly measured working of each individual part, causes the growth of the body for the building up of itself in love.
Put On the New Man
Eph 4:20-24 LSB –
[20] But you did not learn Christ in this way--
[21] if indeed you heard Him and were taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus,
[22] to lay aside, in reference to your former conduct, the old man, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,
[23] and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
[24] and to put on the new man, which in [the likeness of] God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.
Be Imitators of God
Eph 5:1-2 LSB –
[1] Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children,
[2] and walk in love, just as Christ also loved us and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma.
Eph 5:18-21 LSB –
[18] And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,
[19] speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;
[20] always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; [21] and being subject to one another in the fear of Christ.
Wives and Husbands
Eph 5:25 LSB – [25] Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,
Eph 5:33 LSB – [33] Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must [see to it] that she respects her husband.
Children and Parents
Eph 6:4 LSB – [4] Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
The Armor of God
Eph 6:10-11 LSB –
[10] Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the might of His strength.
[11] Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.
Eph 6:14-15 LSB – [14] Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, [15] and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE.
Isa 11:5 LSB – [5] Also righteousness will be the belt about His loins, And faithfulness the belt about His waist.
Isa 59:17 LSB – [17] He put on righteousness like a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; And He put on garments of vengeance for clothing And wrapped Himself with zeal as a mantle.
Isa 52:7 LSB – [7] How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who proclaims good news, Who announces peace And proclaims good news of good things, Who announces salvation, [And] says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"
Eph 6:16-18 LSB –
[16] In addition to all, having taken up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one,
[17] also receive THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
[18] praying at all times with all prayer and petition in the Spirit, and to this end, being on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,
Eph 6:24 LSB – [24] Grace be with all those who love our Lord Jesus Christ with incorruptible [love].
