Ephesians 4:2-16

2withG3326 allG3956 lowliness andG2532 meeknessG4240, withG3326 longsuffering, forbearing oneG240 anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;

3giving diligence toG1722 keepG5083 theG3588 unityG4886 ofG4151 theG3588 SpiritG4151 inG1722 theG3588 bondG4886 ofG4151 peaceG1515.

4ThereG1722 is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, evenG2532 asG2531 alsoG2532 ye were calledG2564 inG1722 oneG1520 hopeG1680 ofG4151 yourG2532 callingG2821;

5oneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG1520 baptismG908,

6oneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 ofG1223 allG3956, whoG3588 is overG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 allG3956.

7ButG1161 unto eachG1538 oneG1520 ofG5485 usG1325 was theG3588 graceG5485 givenG1325 accordingG2596 toG2596 theG3588 measureG3358 ofG5485 theG3588 giftG1431 ofG5485 ChristG5547.

8WhereforeG1352 heG3004 saith, WhenG3004 heG3004 ascendedG305 onG1519 highG5311, heG3004 ledG162 captivityG161 captiveG162, AndG444 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444.

9(NowG1161 thisG3588, HeG2532 ascendedG305, whatG5101 isG1510 itG1161 butG1161 thatG3754 heG2532 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 intoG1519 theG3588 lower partsG3313 ofG1093 theG3588 earthG1093?

10HeG2532 thatG2443 descendedG2597 isG1510 theG3956 sameG846 alsoG2532 thatG2443 ascendedG305 farG5231 aboveG5231 allG3956 theG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 heG2532 mightG2532 fillG4137 allG3956 thingsG3956.)

11AndG2532 heG2532 gaveG1325 someG3588 toG2532 beG2532 apostlesG652; andG2532 someG3588, prophetsG4396; andG2532 someG3588, evangelistsG2099; andG2532 someG3588, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;

12forG1519 theG3588 perfecting ofG2041 theG3588 saintsG40, unto theG3588 workG2041 ofG2041 ministering, unto theG3588 buildingG3619 upG1519 ofG2041 theG3588 bodyG4983 ofG2041 ChristG5547:

13till weG2532 allG3956 attainG2658 unto theG3956 unity ofG5207 theG3956 faithG4102, andG2532 ofG5207 theG3956 knowledgeG1922 ofG5207 theG3956 SonG5207 ofG5207 GodG2316, unto a fullgrown manG435, unto theG3956 measureG3358 ofG5207 theG3956 statureG2244 ofG5207 theG3956 fulness ofG5207 ChristG5547:

14thatG2443 weG2532 mayG2532 beG1510 noG3371 longerG3371 childrenG3516, tossedG2831 toG4314 andG2532 fro andG2532 carriedG4064 aboutG1722 withG1722 everyG3956 windG417 ofG3956 doctrineG1319, byG1722 theG3956 sleight ofG3956 menG444, inG1722 craftinessG3834, afterG2532 theG3956 wiles ofG3956 errorG4106;

15butG1161 speakingG226 truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, mayG3956 growG837 upG1519 inG1722 allG3956 thingsG3956 intoG1519 himG846, whichG3739 isG1510 theG3956 headG2776, evenG1161 ChristG5547;

16fromG1537 whomG3739 allG3956 theG3956 bodyG4983 fitly framed andG2532 knitG4822 togetherG4822 throughG1223 thatG3739 whichG3739 everyG3956 jointG860 supplieth, accordingG2596 toG1519 theG3956 workingG4160 inG1722 dueG2596 measureG3358 ofG1537 eachG1538 several partG3313, maketh theG3956 increase ofG1537 theG3956 bodyG4983 unto theG3956 buildingG3619 upG1519 ofG1537 itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
