4:2 “Humility...Gentleness...Patience...
bearing with one another through love...
(How are you doing in these areas?)

4:3 -13 “Unity...”ONE body”...”ONE faith”.... (There was to be ONE CHURCH!)

4:24 “put on the new self”  We are to conform our will to that of Christ.

4:26 “Be angry but do not sin..“ (Righteous indignation is sometimes needed when encountering evil. Remember Jesus in the Temple! )  Anger in and of itself is not a sin!

4:27 “Do not leave room for the Devil.”
