3 You are joined together with peace through the Spirit, so make every effort to continue together in this way.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, and God called you to have one hope.
5 There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism.
6 There is one God and Father of everything. He rules everything and is everywhere and is in everything.
7 Christ gave each one of us the special gift of grace, showing how generous he is.
8 That is why it says in the Scriptures,“When he went up to the heights,he led a parade of captives,and he gave gifts to people.”
9 When it says, “He went up,” what does it mean? It means that he first came down to the earth.
