Plea For Unity – Ephesians 4:3 – 6 • 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. • 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; • 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, • 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
