I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you too were called to the one hope of your calling,

with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, partners in a heavenly calling, take note of Jesus, the apostle and high priest whom we confess,

– since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened – so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

And in this regard we pray for you always, that our God will make you worthy of his calling and fulfill by his power your every desire for goodness and every work of faith,
