3 diligent to guard the unity of the Spirit in the bond of shalom:
4 - one body and one Spirit, even exactly as you are called in one hope of your calling;
5 - one Adonay, one trust, one baptism,
6 one Elohim and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in you all.

THE DESCENSION AND ASCENSION OF THE MESSIAH
And charism is given to each one of us according to the measure of the gratuity of the Messiah. 8 So he words, Having ascended on high, he captured the captives and gave gifts to humanity. Psalm 68:18 9 Now that he ascended, what is it except that he also first descended into the substrata parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens to fulfill/shalam all. 11
THE FOURFOLD MINISTRY
And indeed, he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and doctors; 12 for the perfecting of the holy - to the work of the ministry - to the edifying of the body of the Messiah: 13 until we all attain to the unity of the trust and the knowledge of the Son of Elohim to a man of shalom; to the measure of the maturity of the fulness/shalom of the Messiah: 14 that we no longer be babies surging and carried about with every wind of doctrine in the dice of men and in cunning with their methods of seduction; 15 but being true in love, grow up in him in all, who is the head, the Messiah: 16 from whom the whole body co-joined and coalesced through what every joint contributes, according to the energizing in the measure of each single part, makes growth of the body to edify itself in love.
