The Summation of All Things in Christ

Studies in Ephesians with a Local Church Emphasis

Lesson 69 : Unity Does Not Mean Uniformity but Harmony  (4:7)

Verses 7-16 is a distinct unit  –  Paul changes from the second person (‘you’) to first person (‘we, us’)  –  The overall ‘inclusio’ of ‘love’  –  Form and structure of this section  –  Paul identifies himself with his readers  –  Is this a reference to church leaders only?  –  ‘One’ is emphatic  –  Good quotes relating to diversity within unity  –  Passages that parallel our verses
