All:
One:
All:
As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed
yourselves with Christ.
There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave
or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you
are one in Christ Jesus.
Lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been
called, making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in
the bond of peace.
There is one body and one Spirit, just as we were called
to the one hope of our calling, one Lord, one faith, one
baptism, one God and Creator of all, who is above all and
through all and in all.
