There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;
All Commentaries on Ephesians 4:4 Go To Ephesians 4
John Chrysostom
AD 407
What is this one body? They are the faithful throughout the world—in the present, in the past and in the future…. The body does exist apart from its enlivening spirit, else it would not be a body. It is a common human metaphor to say of things that are united and have coherence that they are one body. So we too take the term body as an expression of unity. .
