I therefore,G3767 the prisonerG1198 of the Lord,G2962 beseechG3870 you that you walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 with whichG3739 you are called,G2564
2
With allG3956 lowlinessG5012 and meekness,G4236 with long-suffering,G3115 forbearingG430 oneG240 anotherG240 in love;G26
3
EndeavoringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 in the bondG4886 of peace.G1515
4
There is oneG1520 body,G4983 and oneG1520 Spirit,G4151 evenG2532 as you are calledG2564 in oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 calling;G2821
5
OneG1520 Lord,G2962 oneG1520 faith,G4102 oneG3391 baptism,G908
6
OneG1520 GodG2316 and FatherG3962 of all,G3956 whoG3588 is aboveG1909 all,G3956 and throughG1223 all,G3956 and in you all.G3956
7
But to everyG1538 oneG1520 of us is givenG1325 graceG5485 accordingG2596 to the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of Christ.G5547
8
WhyG1352 he said,G3004 When he ascendedG305 up onG5311 high,G5311 he ledG162 captivityG161 captive,G162 and gaveG1325 giftsG1390 to men.G444
9
(NowG1161 that he ascended,G305 whatG5101 is it but that he alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earth?G1093
10
He that descendedG2597 is the sameG846 alsoG2532 that ascendedG305 up farG5231 aboveG5231 allG3956 heavens,G3772 that he might fillG4137 allG3956 things.)
11
And he gaveG1325 some,G3588 apostles;G652 and some,G3588 prophets;G4396 and some,G3588 evangelists;G2099 and some,G3588 pastorsG4166 and teachers;G1320
12
For the perfectingG2677 of the saints,G40 for the workG2041 of the ministry,G1248 for the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of Christ:G5547
13
TillG3360 we allG3956 comeG2658 in the unityG1775 of the faith,G4102 and of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of God,G2316 to a perfectG5046 man,G435 to the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fullnessG4138 of Christ:G5547
14
That we from now onG3063 be noG3371 moreG2001 children,G3516 tossedG2831 to and fro,G2831 and carriedG4064 aboutG4064 with everyG3956 windG417 of doctrine,G1319 by the sleightG2940 of men,G444 and cunning craftiness,G3834 wherebyG4314 they lieG3180 in waitG3180 to deceive;G4106
15
But speakingG226 the truthG226 in love,G26 may growG837 up intoG1519 him in allG3956 things, whichG3739 is the head,G2776 even Christ:G5547
16
From whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitlyG4883 joinedG4883 togetherG4883 and compactedG4822 by that which everyG3956 jointG860 supplies,G2024 accordingG2596 to the effectualG1753 workingG1753 in the measureG3358 of everyG1520 G1538 part,G3313 makesG4160 increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 to the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 in love.G26
17
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 therefore,G3767 and testifyG3143 in the Lord,G2962 that you from now onG3371 walkG4043 not as otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walk,G4043 in the vanityG3153 of their mind,G3563
18
Having the understandingG1271 darkened,G4654 beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that is in them, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of their heart:G2588
19
WhoG3748 being pastG524 feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 to lasciviousness,G766 to workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 with greediness.G4124
20
But you have not soG3779 learnedG3129 Christ;G5547
21
IfG1489 soG3779 be that you have heardG191 him, and have been taughtG1321 by him, as the truthG225 is in Jesus:G2424
22
That you putG659 offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 man,G444 whichG3588 is corruptG5351 accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lusts;G1939
23
And be renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of yourG5216 mind;G3563
24
And that you putG1746 onG1746 the newG2537 man,G444 whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 in righteousnessG1343 and trueG3588 G225 holiness.G3742
25
WhyG1352 puttingG659 awayG659 lying,G5579 speakG2980 everyG1520 G1538 man truthG226 with his neighbor:G4139 for we are membersG3196 oneG240 of another.G240
26
Be you angry,G3710 and sinG264 not: let not the sunG2246 goG1931 downG1931 on yourG5216 wrath:G3950
27
NeitherG3383 giveG1325 placeG5117 to the devil.G1228
28
Let him that stoleG2813 stealG2813 noG3371 more:G2001 but ratherG3123 let him labor,G2872 workingG2038 with his handsG5495 the thing which is good,G18 that he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him that needs.G5532
29
Let noG3956 G3361 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out of yourG5216 mouth,G4750 but that whichG1536 is goodG18 to the useG5532 of edifying,G3619 that it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 to the hearers.G191
30
And grieveG3076 not the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of God,G2316 wherebyG1722 G3739 you are sealedG4972 to the dayG2250 of redemption.G629
31
Let allG3956 bitterness,G4088 and wrath,G2372 and anger,G3709 and clamor,G2906 and evilG988 speaking,G988 be putG142 away from you, with allG3956 malice:G2549
32
And be you kindG5543 oneG240 to another,G240 tenderhearted,G2155 forgivingG5483 oneG1438 another,G1438 evenG2532 as GodG2316 for Christ'sG5547 sakeG1722 has forgivenG5483 you.
