Ephesians 4

Paul turns from doctrine to conduct, urging believers to walk worthy with humility, patience, and love while keeping the unity of the Spirit. He lists the sevenfold ‘one’ foundation, explains Christ’s gifts to the church for ministry and maturity, and contrasts the old walk with the renewed mind and new man.
