1. I G1473 therefore G3767 , the G3588 prisoner G1198 of G1722 the Lord G2962 , beseech G3870 you G5209 that ye walk G4043 worthy G516 of the G3588 vocation G2821 wherewith G3739 ye are called G2564 ,
|
1. I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
|
|
2. With G3326 all G3956 lowliness G5012 and G2532 meekness G4236 , with G3326 longsuffering G3115 , forbearing G430 one another G240 in G1722 love G26 ;
|
2. With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
|
|
3. Endeavoring G4704 to keep G5083 the G3588 unity G1775 of the G3588 Spirit G4151 in G1722 the G3588 bond G4886 of peace G1515 .
|
3. Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
|
|
4. There is one G1520 body G4983 , and G2532 one G1520 Spirit G4151 , even as G2531 ye are called G2564 in G1722 one G3391 hope G1680 of your G5216 calling G2821 ;
|
4. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
|
|
5. One G1520 Lord G2962 , one G3391 faith G4102 , one G1520 baptism G908 ,
|
5. One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
|
|
6. One G1520 God G2316 and G2532 Father G3962 of all G3956 , who G3588 is above G1909 all G3956 , and G2532 through G1223 all G3956 , and G2532 in G1722 you G5213 all G3956 .
|
6. One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
|
|
7. But G1161 unto every G1538 one G1520 of us G2257 is given G1325 grace G5485 according G2596 to the G3588 measure G3358 of the G3588 gift G1431 of Christ G5547 .
|
7. But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
|
|
8. Wherefore G1352 he saith G3004 , When he ascended up G305 on G1519 high G5311 , he led captivity captive G162 G161 , and G2532 gave G1325 gifts G1390 unto men G444 .
|
8. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
|
|
9. ( Now G1161 that G3588 he ascended G305 , what G5101 is G2076 it but G1508 that G3754 he also G2532 descended G2597 first G4412 into G1519 the G3588 lower G2737 parts G3313 of the G3588 earth G1093 ?
|
9. Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
|
|
10. He that descended G2597 is G2076 the same G846 also G2532 that ascended up G305 far above G5231 all G3956 heavens G3772 , that G2443 he might fill G4137 all things G3956 .)
|
10. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
|
|
11. And G2532 he G846 gave G1325 some G3588 G3303 , apostles G652 ; and G1161 some G3588 , prophets G4396 ; and G1161 some G3588 , evangelists G2099 ; and G1161 some G3588 , pastors G4166 and G2532 teachers G1320 ;
|
11. And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
|
|
12. For G4314 the G3588 perfecting G2677 of the G3588 saints G40 , for G1519 the work G2041 of the ministry G1248 , for G1519 the edifying G3619 of the G3588 body G4983 of Christ G5547 :
|
12. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
|
|
13. Till G3360 we all G3956 come G2658 in G1519 the G3588 unity G1775 of the G3588 faith G4102 , and G2532 of the G3588 knowledge G1922 of the G3588 Son G5207 of God G2316 , unto G1519 a perfect G5046 man G435 , unto G1519 the measure G3358 of the stature G2244 of the G3588 fullness G4138 of Christ G5547 :
|
13. Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
|
|
14. That G2443 we henceforth be G5600 no more G3371 children G3516 , tossed to and fro G2831 , and G2532 carried about G4064 with every G3956 wind G417 of doctrine G1319 , by G1722 the G3588 sleight G2940 of men G444 , and G1722 cunning craftiness G3834 , whereby G4314 they lie in wait to deceive G3180 G4106 ;
|
14. That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
|
|
15. But G1161 speaking the truth G226 in G1722 love G26 , may grow up G837 into G1519 him G846 in all things G3956 , which G3739 is G2076 the G3588 head G2776 , even Christ G5547 :
|
15. But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
|
|
16. From G1537 whom G3739 the G3588 whole G3956 body G4983 fitly joined together G4883 and G2532 compacted G4822 by G1223 that which every G3956 joint G860 supplieth G2024 , according G2596 to the effectual working G1753 in G1722 the measure G3358 of every G1538 G1520 part G3313 , maketh G4160 increase G838 of the G3588 body G4983 unto G1519 the edifying G3619 of itself G1438 in G1722 love G26 .
|
16. From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
|
|
17. This G5124 I say G3004 therefore G3767 , and G2532 testify G3143 in G1722 the Lord G2962 , that ye G5209 henceforth walk not G3371 G4043 as G2531 G2532 other G3062 Gentiles G1484 walk G4043 , in G1722 the vanity G3153 of their G848 mind G3563 ,
|
17. This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
|
|
18. Having the G3588 understanding G1271 darkened G4654 , being G5607 alienated G526 from the G3588 life G2222 of God G2316 through G1223 the G3588 ignorance G52 that is G5607 in G1722 them G846 , because G1223 of the G3588 blindness G4457 of their G846 heart G2588 :
|
18. Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
|
|
19. Who G3748 being past feeling G524 have given themselves over G3860 G1438 unto lasciviousness G766 , to G1519 work G2039 all G3956 uncleanness G167 with G1722 greediness G4124 .
|
19. Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
|
|
20. But G1161 ye G5210 have not G3756 so G3779 learned G3129 Christ G5547 ;
|
20. But ye have not so learned Christ;
|
|
21. If so be G1489 that ye have heard G191 him G846 , and G2532 have been taught G1321 by G1722 him G846 , as G2531 the truth G225 is G2076 in G1722 Jesus G2424 :
|
21. If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
|
|
22. That ye G5209 put off G659 concerning G2596 the G3588 former G4387 conversation G391 the G3588 old G3820 man G444 , which is corrupt G5351 according G2596 to the G3588 deceitful G539 lusts G1939 ;
|
22. That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
|
|
23. And G1161 be renewed G365 in the G3588 spirit G4151 of your G5216 mind G3563 ;
|
23. And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
|
|
24. And G2532 that ye put on G1746 the G3588 new G2537 man G444 , which after G2596 God G2316 is created G2936 in G1722 righteousness G1343 and G2532 true G225 holiness G3742 .
|
24. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
|
|
25. Wherefore G1352 putting away G659 lying G5579 , speak G2980 every man G1538 truth G225 with G3326 his G848 neighbor G4139 : for G3754 we are G2070 members G3196 one of another G240 .
|
25. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
|
|
26. Be ye angry G3710 , and G2532 sin G264 not: let G3361 not G3361 the G3588 sun G2246 go down G1931 upon G1909 your G5216 wrath G3950 :
|
26. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
|
|
27. Neither G3383 give G1325 place G5117 to the G3588 devil G1228 .
|
27. Neither give place to the devil.
|
|
28. Let him that stole G2813 steal G2813 no more G3371 : but G1161 rather G3123 let him labor G2872 , working G2038 with his hands G5495 the thing which is good G18 , that G2443 he may have G2192 to give G3330 to him that needeth G2192 G5532 .
|
28. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
|
|
29. Let no G3361 G3956 corrupt G4550 communication G3056 proceed G1607 out of G1537 your G5216 mouth G4750 , but G235 that G1536 which is good G18 to G4314 the G3588 use G5532 of edifying G3619 , that G2443 it may minister G1325 grace G5485 unto the G3588 hearers G191 .
|
29. Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
|
|
30. And G2532 grieve G3076 not G3361 the G3588 Holy G40 Spirit G4151 of God G2316 , whereby G1722 G3739 ye are sealed G4972 unto G1519 the day G2250 of redemption G629 .
|
30. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
|
|
31. Let all G3956 bitterness G4088 , and G2532 wrath G2372 , and G2532 anger G3709 , and G2532 clamor G2906 , and G2532 evil speaking G988 , be put away G142 from G575 you G5216 , with G4862 all G3956 malice G2549 :
|
31. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
|
|
32. And G1161 be G1096 ye kind G5543 one to another G240 G1519 , tenderhearted G2155 , forgiving G5483 one another G1438 , even G2532 as G2531 God G2316 for Christ's sake G1722 G5547 hath forgiven G5483 you G5213 .
|
32. And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
