Summary: Paul exhorts the Ephesians to walk worthy of their call. He does not give them a list of dos and don'ts, but urges them towards unity, grounding it in the unity of all things that is found in God himself. 1-3: The main point in the first arc drives us towards verse 3. Not sure whether making this a ground is too strong in Paul's mind (that will come next). Is "maintaining the unity of the bond of peace" one of the ways in which we should walk, or is it the reason behind humility, gentleness, patience and love? 1, 2-3: could be an action/ manner. That is, Paul is telling them how they should walk. The word urge is a strong indicator that he is urging them to action. An imperative would be a clear indicator that is what he meant (that will come soon). However, the ground in verse 3 is a stronger indicator that this is an idea/explanation. Unity in the body, not each person's individual walk, seems to be Paul's driving idea. Ultimately, though, action/manner and idea/explanation are both acceptable. 2a-3: is goverened by the participles and the preposition "with". It should not be broken down into a series of 5 descriptions. Each word carries its own weight, but Paul groups them into two sections.

Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ ὁ δέσμιος ἐν κυρίῳ ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε ,

I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called ,

μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πραΰτητος,

[that is, walk] with all humility and gentleness,

μετὰ μακροθυμίας, ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων ἐν ἀγάπῃ,

[walk] with patience, bearing with one another in love,

ἓν σῶμα καὶ ἓν πνεῦμα,

There is one body and one Spirit--

καθὼς καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν μιᾷ ἐλπίδι τῆς κλήσεως ὑμῶν·

just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call --

comparison

εἷς κύριος, μία πίστις, ἓν βάπτισμα· εἷς θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ πάντων, ὁ ἐπὶ πάντων καὶ διὰ πάντων καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν.

one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

ἑνὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ ἡμῶν ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τῆς δωρεᾶς τοῦ Χριστοῦ.

But [Now] grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ's gift .

διὸ λέγει, ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἔδωκεν δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις.

Therefore it says, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."

τὸ δὲ ἀνέβη τί ἐστιν εἰ μὴ ὅτι καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὰ κατώτερα μέρη τῆς γῆς;

(In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?

ὁ καταβὰς αὐτός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ ἀναβὰς ὑπεράνω πάντων τῶν οὐρανῶν,

He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens,

ἵνα πληρώσῃ τὰ πάντα.

that he might fill all things. )

πρὸς τὸν καταρτισμὸν τῶν ἁγίων εἰς ἔργον διακονίας, εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ,

to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

μέχρι καταντήσωμεν οἱ πάντες εἰς τὴν ἑνότητα τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰς ἄνδρα τέλειον, εἰς μέτρον ἡλικίας τοῦ πληρώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ,

until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

ἵνα μηκέτι ὦμεν νήπιοι,

so that we may no longer be children,

κλυδωνιζόμενοι καὶ περιφερόμενοι παντὶ ἀνέμῳ τῆς διδασκαλίας ἐν τῇ κυβίᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν πανουργίᾳ πρὸς τὴν μεθοδίαν τῆς πλάνης

tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
