Ephesians 4:1

[The first three chapters of Ephesians describe the position of believers in Jesus. Now follow three chapters with practical applications. A recurring concept is 'walking'. It describes how believers should act and live out their Christian lives in everyday life. The Greek word for church, ekklesia (see previous verse), comes from a verb meaning 'to call out'. Paul, who in his praise has just pointed out the task of the church and the Anointed One (i.e., the body and its head) to glorify the Father, now ties in with the word by pointing to the calling, see also Eph. 1:18; 4:4. Other references in the letter are found in Eph. 1:22; 3:10, 21; 5:23, 24, 25, 27, 29, 32.]
Therefore [because of the position the church has been given in Jesus, see chapters 1-3], I, who am a prisoner in the Lord, urge (pray, exhort) you to live (walk) in a manner worthy of the calling (Gk. klesis) you have received (were called with):
