As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
Ephesians4:1-4
The Apostle Paul was often arrested and put in prison for preaching the Gospel, but this did not deter him from ministering to others which he did by writing letters.
Paul urges us to to live life worthy of the calling we received and to treat one another with respect and dignity. He is not injecting a lot of rules for us to follow only urging that we get along with each other in a bond of peace.
This peace is possible because we share the common faith and baptism and worship one God and Father who is over us all.
