uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τηρεῖν τὴν ἑνότητα τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης

˓to_be˒_keeping (Some words not found in SR-GNT: σπουδάζοντες τηρεῖν τήν ἑνότητα τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης)

Here Paul speaks of peace as if it were a bond that ties people together. This is a metaphor for being united with other people by living peacefully with them. Alternate translation: [to live peacefully with one another and remain united as the Spirit made possible]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τηρεῖν τὴν ἑνότητα τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης

˓to_be˒_keeping (Some words not found in SR-GNT: σπουδάζοντες τηρεῖν τήν ἑνότητα τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the words unity and peace, you could express the same ideas with verbal forms. Alternate translation: [to live peacefully with one another and remain united as the Spirit made possible]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

4:3 binding yourselves together with peace: Paul’s emphasis on God’s acceptance of Gentiles as well as Jews (2:11–3:6) is now applied ethically: Jews and Gentiles are to accept one another in the church (see Col 3:14-15).
