Notes

Ephesians 4:2

with all humility … gentleness … patience: Believers should be like Christ in how they treat others (see Colossians 3:12–14; compare Galatians 6:2). Jesus himself demonstrated perfect humility, gentleness, and patience in his relationships with people.

Ephesians 4:1–6

God's saving grace for both Jews and non-Jews (Gentiles) should guide how they interact in the church. They should welcome each other warmly, just as God has welcomed them.
