Both occurrences use the accusative singular form ἑνότητα. In Ephesians 4:3 the APB renders the clause "Being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace," while Ephesians 4:13 renders a goal of attaining "the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God" alongside mature manhood.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as "unity" in both verses: something to keep in Ephesians 4:3 and something to attain in Ephesians 4:13. These phrases describe the clauses rather than establish separate lexical senses.
