As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called

There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call

Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.

For there is one body and one Spirit, just as you have been called to one glorious hope for the future.

Therefore I, the prisoner in the Lord,  urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received

There is one body and one Spirit   — just as you were called to one hope  , at your calling 

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling

I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling

In light of all this, here’s what I want you to do. While I’m locked up here, a prisoner for the Master, I want you to get out there and walk—better yet, run!—on the road God called you to travel. I don’t want any of you sitting around on your hands. I don’t want anyone strolling off, down some path that goes nowhere. And mark that you do this with humility and discipline—not in fits and starts, but steadily, pouring yourselves out for each other in acts of love, alert at noticing differences and quick at mending fences.

You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling

So I, the prisoner for the Lord, appeal to you to live a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called [that is, to live a life that exhibits godly character, moral courage, personal integrity, and mature behavior—a life that expresses gratitude to God for your salvation]

There is one body [of believers] and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when called [to salvation]

I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you too were called to the one hope of your calling
