By authority: take Ephesians 4 as a standing commonplace for the point — covering the whole foundation, theoretical (vv. 1–17) and practical (v. 17 to the chapter’s end).

There the Apostle bids us keep the Spirit’s unity in the bond of peace (v. 3), and affirms one body and one Spirit — one spiritual body — where there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, above all, through all, and in all (vv. 4–6).
