Ephesians 4

1IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG3588G1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870 youG4771 that ye walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG3588G2821 wherewithG3739 ye are calledG2564, 2WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4240, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26; 3EndeavouringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG3588G1775 of the SpiritG3588G4151 inG1722 the bondG3588G4886 of peaceG3588G1515. 4There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG1520 hopeG1680 of yourG4771 callingG3588G2821; 5OneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG1520 baptismG908, 6OneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is aboveG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 youG4771 allG3956.

7ButG1161 unto everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG1473 is givenG1325 graceG3588G5485 according toG2596 the measureG3588G3358 of the giftG3588G1431 of ChristG3588G5547. 8WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he ledG162 captivityG161 captiveG162, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG3588G444. 9(NowG1161 thatG3588 he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG1510 butG3361 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG3588G1093? 10He thatG3588 descendedG2597 isG1510 the sameG846 alsoG2532 thatG3588 ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3588G3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) 11AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3588, apostlesG652; andG1161 someG3588, prophetsG4396; andG1161 someG3588, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 someG3588, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320; 12ForG4314 the perfectingG3588G2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG3588G4983 of ChristG3588G5547: 13TillG3360 weG2658 allG3956 comeG2658 inG1519 the unityG3588G1775 of the faithG3588G4102, andG2532 of the knowledgeG3588G1922 of the SonG3588G5207 of GodG3588G2316, untoG1519 a perfectG5046 manG435, untoG1519 the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulnessG3588G4138 of ChristG3588G5547: 14ThatG2443 weG1510 henceforth beG1510 no moreG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and froG2831, andG2532 carried aboutG4064 with everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG3588G1319, byG1722 the sleightG3588G2940 of menG3588G444, and cunning craftinessG3834, wherebyG4314 theyG3588 lie in waitG3180 to deceiveG3588G4106; 15ButG1161 speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837 intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG1510 the headG3588G2776, even ChristG3588G5547: 16FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG3588G4983 fitly joined togetherG4883 andG2532 compactedG4822 byG1223 that whichG3588 everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, according toG2596 the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG3313, makethG4160 increaseG3588G838 of the bodyG3588G4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.

17ThisG3778 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG4771 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG2532 asG2531 otherG3588G3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3588G3563, 18HavingG4654 the understandingG3588G1271 darkenedG4654, beingG1510 alienated fromG526 the lifeG3588G2222 of GodG3588G2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG3588G52 that isG1510 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG3588G4457 of theirG846 heartG3588G2588: 19WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG3588G766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124. 20ButG1161 yeG4771 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129 ChristG3588G5547; 21If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG1510 inG1722 JesusG3588G2424: 22

That yeG4771 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4386 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, which isG3588 corruptG5351 according toG2596 the deceitfulG3588G539 lustsG3588G1939; 23AndG1161 be renewedG365 in the spiritG3588G4151 of yourG4771 mindG3588G3563; 24AndG2532 that ye put onG1746 the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG3588G225 holinessG3742. 25

WhereforeG1352 putting awayG659 lyingG3588G5579, speakG2980 every manG1538 truthG225 withG3326 hisG846 neighbourG4139: forG3754 we areG1510 membersG3196 one of anotherG240. 26Be ye angryG3710, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG3588G2246 go downG1931 uponG1909 yourG4771 wrathG3588G3950: 27NeitherG3383 giveG1325 placeG5117 to the devilG1228.

28Let himG2813 thatG3588 stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let himG2872 labourG2872, workingG2038 withG3588G5495 his handsG3588G5495 the thing which isG3588 goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him thatG3588 needethG5532. 29

LetG1607 noG3361 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG4771 mouthG3588G4750, butG235 thatG1487 which isG5100 goodG18 toG4314 the useG3588G5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. 30

AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG3588G4151 of GodG3588G2316, wherebyG3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.

31LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142 fromG575 youG4771, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549: 32AndG1161 be yeG1096 kindG5543 oneG240 toG1519 anotherG240, tenderheartedG2155, forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, evenG2532 asG2531 GodG3588G2316 forG1722 Christ’s sakeG5547 hath forgivenG5483 youG4771.
