Be eager and strive

earnestly to guard

and keep the  harmony

and oneness of (and

is only possible by the

traits are acquired  by being

filled with the Holy Spirit.

2) When we are intentional

and intense in the pursuit

of harmony and oneness

with the binding and

uniting power of the

Holy Spirit we are

able to make progress

in achieving peace.

3) If you are eager for happiness

this is the key to lasting happiness.
