Work your way up to these very important words in chapter 4 -
" ... the building up of the body of Christ, Until we all arrive at the oneness of the faith and of the full knowledge of the Son of God, at a full-grown man, at the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." (4:12c,13)

Oneness in Christ means that the Christian must strive for unity in the faith, they must continue with good works and righteousness, striving for perfection, because without that they will have no inheritance in the Kingdom of God.
