📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

In this chapter the apostle Paul urges believers to live in harmony with one another, reflecting the unity of the body of Christ, and to speak the truth in love, while also being careful not to stir up divisions. He also instructs the church to be filled with the Spirit, to keep the unity of the faith, and to avoid the divisions that arise from selfish ambition.
