Ephesians 4

1I, the prisonerG1198 in [the] LordG2962, exhortG3870 you thereforeG3767 to walkG4043 worthy of the callingG2821 wherewith ye have been calledG2564, 2with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearingG430 with oneG240 another in loveG26; 3using diligence to keepG5083 the unity of the SpiritG4151 in the uniting bondG4886 of peaceG1515. 4[There is] oneG1520 bodyG4983 and oneG1520 SpiritG4151, as ye have been alsoG2532 calledG2564 in oneG1520 hopeG1680 of your callingG2821; 5oneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG1520 baptismG908; 6oneG1520 1GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all. 7But to each oneG1520 of us has been givenG1325 graceG5485 accordingG2596 to the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of the ChristG5547. 8Wherefore he saysG3004, Having ascendedG305 up on highG5311, he has led captivityG161 captive, and has givenG1325 giftsG1390 to menG444. 9But that he ascendedG305, what isG1510 it but that he alsoG2532 descendedG2597 into the lower partsG3313 of the earthG1093? 10He that descendedG2597 isG1510 the sameG846 who has alsoG2532 ascendedG305 up above all the heavensG3772, that he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956; 11and he has givenG1325 some apostlesG652, and some prophetsG4396, and some evangelistsG2099, and some shepherdsG4166 and teachersG1320, 12for the perfecting of the saintsG40; with a view to [the] workG2041 of [the] ministryG1248, with a view to the edifying of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547; 13until we all arrive at the unity of the faithG4102 and of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of 2GodG2316, at [the] full-grown manG435, at [the] measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulness of the ChristG5547; 14in orderG2443 that we may beG1510 noG3371 longerG3371 babes, tossed and carried about by every windG417 of that teachingG1319 [which isG1510] in the sleight of menG444, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized errorG4106; 15but, holding the truthG226 in loveG26, we may growG837 up to him in all thingsG3956, who isG1510 the headG2776, the ChristG5547: 16from whom the whole bodyG4983, fitted togetherG4822, and connected by every joint of supply, accordingG2596 to [the] working in [its] measureG3358 of each oneG1520 partG3313, works for itself the increase of the bodyG4983 to its self-building up in loveG26. 17This I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, and testifyG3143 in [the] LordG2962, that ye should noG3371 longerG3371 walkG4043 as [the rest of] the nationsG1484 walkG4043 in [the] vanity of their mindG3563, 18beingG1510 darkenedG4656 in understandingG1271, estranged from the lifeG2222 of 3GodG2316 by reason of the ignoranceG52 which isG1510 in them, by reason of the hardnessG4457 of their heartsG2588, 19who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust. 20But ye have not thusG3779 learnt the ChristG5547, 21if ye have heardG191 him and beenG1510 instructed in him according as [the] truthG225 isG1510 in JesusG2424; 22[namely] your having putG659 off accordingG2596 to the formerG4387 conversation the oldG3820 manG444 which corruptsG5351 itself accordingG2596 to the deceitful lustsG1939; 23and being renewed in the spiritG4151 of your mindG3563; 24and [your] having putG1746 on the newG2537 manG444, which accordingG2596 to 4GodG2316 is created in truthful righteousnessG1343 and holinessG3742. 25Wherefore, having putG659 off falsehoodG5579, speakG2980 truthG225 every oneG240 with his neighbour, because we areG1510 membersG3196 oneG240 of another. 26Be angryG3710, and do not sinG264; let not the sunG2246 set upon your wrath, 27neither giveG1325 room for the devilG1228. 28Let the stealer stealG2813 no moreG3123, but ratherG3123 let him toilG2872, working what is honest with [his] handsG5495, that he may have to distribute to him that has needG5532. 29Let no corrupt wordG3056 goG1607 out of your mouthG4750, but if [there be] any goodG18 oneG5100 for needful edificationG3619, that it may giveG1325 graceG5485 to those that hearG191 [it]. 30And do not grieveG3076 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151 of 5GodG2316, with which ye have been sealedG4972 for [the] dayG2250 of redemptionG629. 31Let all bitternessG4088, and heat of passion, and wrathG3709, and clamour, and injurious language, be removed from you, with all maliceG2549; 32and be to oneG240 another kindG5543, compassionate, forgivingG5483 oneG240 another, so as 6GodG2316 alsoG2532 in ChristG5547 has forgivenG5483 you.
