Abstract

A distinguishing feature of Paul’s style is his use of short formulas and compounds, which, through their simplicity and appropriate juxtaposition, convey the entire theological complexity of the truths of faith and are a point of reference for Christians of all times. Among such places in Paul’s epistolary is Ephesians 4:1-6, in which, through the use of succinctly formulated articles of faith given in an appropriate rhetorical setting, the Apostle charts before believers the pattern of their relationship with God and with the community with a particular fondness for using the numeral “unum” as a distinguishing feature of the said relationships. This article is an attempt to describe the distinguishing features of St. Paul’s style in the analyzed passage of the Epistle to the Ephesians.
