Ephesians 4:15-25

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 1GodG2316 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 2GodG2316 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.
