[1]IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870[G5719] youG5209 that ye walkG4043[G5658] worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 wherewithG3739 G2564ye are calledG5681
[2]WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430[G5740] one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
[3]EndeavouringG4704[G5723] to keepG5083[G5721] the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 the bondG4886 of peaceG1515.
[4]There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531[G2532] ye are calledG2564[G5681] inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
[5]OneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG3391 baptismG908,
[6]OneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is aboveG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 youG5213 allG3956.
[7]ButG1161 unto everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257 is givenG1325[G5681] graceG5485 according toG2596 the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of ChristG5547.
[8]WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004[G5719], When he ascendedG305[G5631] upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162[G5656] captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325[G5656] giftsG1390 unto menG444.
[9](NowG1161 that he ascendedG305[G5627], whatG5101 is itG2076[G5748] butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597[G5627] firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
[10]HeG846 that descendedG2597[G5631] isG2076[G5748] the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305[G5631] far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137[G5661] all thingsG3956.)
[11]AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325[G5656] someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
[12]ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
[13]TillG3360 we allG3956 comeG2658[G5661] inG1519 the unityG1775 of the faithG4102, andG2532 of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, untoG1519 a perfectG5046 manG435, untoG1519 the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulnessG4138 of ChristG5547:
[14]ThatG2443 we henceforth beG5600[G5753] no moreG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and froG2831[G5740], andG2532 carried about withG4064[G5746] everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG1319, byG1722 the sleightG2940 of menG444, and cunning craftinessG1722[G3834], wherebyG4314 they lie in waitG3180 to deceiveG4106;
[15]ButG1161 speaking the truthG226[G5723] inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837[G5661] intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG2076[G5748] the headG2776, even ChristG5547:
[16]FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitly joined togetherG4883[G5746] andG2532 compactedG4822[G5746] byG1223 that which everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, accordingG2596 to the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG1520[G3313], makethG4160[G5731] increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
[17]ThisG5124 I sayG3004[G5719] thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143[G5736] inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043[G5721] notG3371 asG2531[G2532] otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043[G5719], inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
[18]Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654[G5772], beingG5607[G5752] alienatedG526[G5772] from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607[G5752] inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588:
[19]WhoG3748 being past feelingG524[G5761] have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860[G5656] unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
[20]ButG1161 yeG5210 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129[G5627] ChristG5547;
[21]If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191[G5656] himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321[G5681] byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076[G5748] inG1722 JesusG2424:
[22]That yeG5209 put offG659[G5641] concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, whichG3588 is corruptG5351[G5746] accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lustsG1939;
[23]AndG1161 be renewedG365[G5745] in the spiritG4151 of yourG5216 mindG3563;
[24]AndG2532 that ye put onG1746[G5670] the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936[G5685] inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG225 holinessG3742.
[25]WhereforeG1352 putting awayG659[G5642] lyingG5579, speakG2980[G5720] every manG1538 truthG225 withG3326 hisG846 neighbourG4139: forG3754 we areG2070[G5748] membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
[26]Be ye angryG3710[G5744], andG2532 sinG264[G5720] notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG2246 go downG1931[G5720] uponG1909 yourG5216 wrathG3950:
[27]NeitherG3383 giveG1325[G5720] placeG5117 to the devilG1228.
[28]LetG2813 him that stoleG2813[G5723] stealG2813[G5720] no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let him labourG2872[G5720], workingG2038[G5740] with his handsG5495 the thing which is goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192[G5725] to giveG3330[G5721] to him that needethG5532[G2192].[G5723]
[29]LetG4550 noG3361[G3956] corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607[G5737] out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750, butG235 that whichG1536 is goodG18 toG4314 the useG5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325[G5632] graceG5485 unto the hearersG191.[G5723]
[30]AndG2532 grieveG3076[G5720] notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722[G3739] ye are sealedG4972[G5681] untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
[31]LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142[G5682] fromG575 youG5216, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549:
[32]AndG1161 beG1096[G5737] ye kindG5543 one to anotherG1519[G240], tenderheartedG2155, forgivingG5483[G5740] one anotherG1438, even asG2531[G2532] GodG2316 forG1722 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1722 hath forgivenG5483[G5662] youG5213.
