One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism.

Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.
9 Eta igaite hura cer da, lehen lurreco parte behera hautara iautsi-ere dela baicen?
Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ;
14 Guehiagoric haour ezgarençát balençán ebilteco, eta doctrinataco haice oroz hara huna guiçonén enganioz, eta hayén finecia cautelosqui enganagarrizcoz erabili içateco.
That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive.

But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:

Give not place to the devil.
28 Ebaisten çuenac ezteçala guehiagoric ebats: baina aitzitic trabailla bedi on daten gauçaric eguiten duela, beharra duenari emaiteco duençát.
He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.

Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth; but that which is good, to the edification of faith, that it may administer grace to the hearers.

And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
