Ephesians 以弗所书 4:1-6 1 我為主被囚的勸你們 : 既然蒙召, 行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱 2 凡事謙虛 溫柔 忍耐, 用愛心互相寬容, 3 用和平彼此聯絡, 竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心 4 身體只有一個, 聖靈只有一個, 正如你們蒙召同有一個指望 5 一主, 一信, 一洗, 6 一神, 就是眾人的父, 超乎眾人之上, 貫乎眾人之中, 也住在眾人之內 ( 和合本 ) 1 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, implore you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing tolerance for one another in love, 3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 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. (NASB)

Ephesians 以弗所书 4:7-10 7 我們各人蒙恩, 都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜. 8 所以經上說 : 他升上高天的時候, 擄掠了仇敵, 將各樣的恩賜賞給人. 9 ( 既說升上, 豈不是先降在地下嗎? 10 那降下的, 就是遠升諸天之上要充滿萬有的 ) 7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ s gift. 8 Therefore it says, WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN. 9 (Now this expression, He ascended, what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is Himself also He who ascended far above all the heavens, so that He might fill all things.)
