| [1]Request I therefore of you I a prisoner in our Lord that you walk just as is suitable to the calling in which you are called |
[1]Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ, ὁ δέσμιος ἐν Κυρίῳ, ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε, |
| [2]In all humility of mind and quietness and length of spirit and you would be patient one toward another in love |
[2]μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πρᾳότητος, μετὰ μακροθυμίας, ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων ἐν ἀγάπῃ, |
| [3]And be you diligent to keep the harmony of The Spirit in the bonds of peace |
[3]σπουδάζοντες τηρεῖν τὴν ἑνότητα τοῦ Πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης. |
| [4]That you would be in one body and in One Spirit as when you were called in one hope of your calling |
[4]ἓν σῶμα καὶ ἓν Πνεῦμα, καθὼς καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν μιᾷ ἐλπίδι τῆς κλήσεως ὑμῶν· |
| [5]One there is for the Lord and one faith and one baptism |
[5]εἷς Κύριος, μία πίστις, ἓν βάπτισμα, |
| [6]And one Alaha The Father of all and over all and with all and in us all |
[6]εἷς Θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ πάντων, ὁ ἐπὶ πάντων καὶ διὰ πάντων, καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν ὑμῖν. |
| [7]To each one of us but is given grace according to the size of the gift of the Messiah |
[7]ἑνὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ ἡμῶν ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τῆς δωρεᾶς τοῦ Χριστοῦ. |
| [8]Because of this it is said "He ascended to the heights and brought captive captivity and He has given gifts to children of men |
[8]διὸ λέγει, Ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν, καὶ ἔδωκε, δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. |
| [9]That He ascended but what? is that but if that also He descended first to the lower regions of the earth |
[9]τὸ δὲ, Ἀνέβη, τί ἐστιν εἰ μὴ ὅτι καὶ κατέβη πρῶτον εἰς τὰ κατώτερα μέρη τῆς γῆς; |
| [10]He Who descended is He The Same Who also ascended higher than all Heavens to restore all things |
[10]ὁ καταβὰς, αὐτός ἐστι καὶ ὁ ἀναβὰς ὑπεράνω πάντων τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἵνα πληρώσῃ τὰ πάντα. |
| [11]And He gave some who are apostles and some who are prophets and some who are evangelists and some who are pastors and some who are teachers |
[11]καὶ αὐτὸς ἔδωκε τοὺς μὲν, ἀποστόλους, τοὺς δὲ, προφήτας, τοὺς δὲ, εὐαγγελιστάς, τοὺς δὲ, ποιμένας καὶ διδασκάλους, |
| [12]For the perfecting of the holy ones for the work of the ministry for the building up of the body of The Messiah |
[12]πρὸς τὸν καταρτισμὸν τῶν ἁγίων, εἰς ἔργον διακονίας, εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ· |
| [13]Until we all shall be one thing in faith and in knowledge of The Son of Alaha and one man perfect with the dimensions of the stature of the maturity of The Messiah |
[13]μέχρι καταντήσωμεν οἱ πάντες εἰς τὴν ἑνότητα τῆς πίστεως, καὶ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰς ἄνδρα τέλειον, εἰς μέτρον ἡλικίας τοῦ πληρώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ· |
| [14]Neither we shall be children who are shaken and troubled for every wind of teaching crafty of children of men those who in their cunning plot to seduce |
[14]ἵνα μηκέτι ὦμεν νήπιοι, κλυδωνιζόμενοι καὶ περιφερόμενοι παντὶ ἀνέμῳ τῆς διδασκαλίας, ἐν τῇ κυβείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἐν πανουργίᾳ πρὸς τὴν μεθοδείαν τῆς πλάνης· |
| [15]But we were firm in our love that all affairs our may increase in The Messiah Who is The Head |
[15]ἀληθεύοντες δὲ ἐν ἀγάπῃ αὐξήσωμεν εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλή, ὁ Χριστός, |
| [16]And from Him the whole body constructed and joined in every joint according to a gift given in measure to every member for the growth His of body that in love may be completed His building |
[16]ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα συναρμολογούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον διὰ πάσης ἁφῆς τῆς ἐπιχορηγίας, κατ’ ἐνέργειαν ἐν μέτρῳ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου μέρους, τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ σώματος ποιεῖται εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ. |
| [17]This but say I and testify I in the Lord that from now not you should be walking as others of the nations who walk in the emptiness of their minds |
[17]Τοῦτο οὖν λέγω καὶ μαρτύρομαι ἐν Κυρίῳ, μηκέτι ὑμᾶς περιπατεῖν, καθὼς καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ ἔθνη περιπατεῖ ἐν ματαιότητι τοῦ νοὸς αὐτῶν, |
| [18]And they are dark in their intellects and aliens are to the Life of Alaha because there is not in them knowledge and because of the blindness of their heart |
[18]ἐσκοτισμένοι τῇ διανοίᾳ, ὄντες ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τὴν ἄγνοιαν τὴν οὖσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τὴν πώρωσιν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν· |
| [19]Those who have cut off their hope and have handed over their souls to lewdness and to the cultivation of every impurity in their greed |
[19]οἵτινες ἀπηλγηκότες ἑαυτοὺς παρέδωκαν τῇ ἀσελγείᾳ, εἰς ἐργασίαν ἀκαθαρσίας πάσης ἐν πλεονεξίᾳ. |
| [20]You but not have in this way you learned Him The Messiah |
[20]ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἐμάθετε τὸν Χριστόν, |
| [21]If truly you have heard Him and by Him you have learned as whatever is the truth is in Ieshu |
[21]εἴγε αὐτὸν ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐδιδάχθητε, καθώς ἐστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ· |
| [22]But that you should put aside from you your way of life first man that old who is corrupted by desires of deception |
[22]ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς, κατὰ τὴν προτέραν ἀναστροφὴν, τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπάτης· |
| [23]And you should be made new in the spirit of your minds |
[23]ἀνανεοῦσθαι δὲ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν, |
| [24]And you should put on the man new he who in Alaha has been created in righteousness and in the purity of the truth |
[24]καὶ ἐνδύσασθαι τὸν καινὸν ἄνθρωπον, τὸν κατὰ Θεὸν κτισθέντα ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ὁσιότητι τῆς ἀληθείας. |
| [25]Because of this put aside from you lying and speak the truth a man with his neighbor members we are for one of another |
[25]Διὸ ἀποθέμενοι τὸ ψεῦδος λαλεῖτε ἀλήθειαν ἕκαστος μετὰ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ· ὅτι ἐσμὲν ἀλλήλων μέλη. |
| [26]Be angry and not sin you and the sun on your anger not let set |
[26]ὀργίζεσθε καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε· ὁ ἥλιος μὴ ἐπιδυέτω ἐπὶ τῷ παροργισμῷ ὑμῶν· |
| [27]Neither you should give a place to The Slanderer |
[27]μήτε δίδοτε τόπον τῷ διαβόλῳ. |
| [28]And whoever stolen has from now on not let him steal but let him toil with his hands and let him produce good that there will be to him to give to the one who has need |
[28]ὁ κλέπτων μηκέτι κλεπτέτω· μᾶλλον δὲ κοπιάτω, ἐργαζόμενος τὸ ἀγαθόν ταῖς χερσὶν, ἵνα ἔχῃ μεταδιδόναι τῷ χρείαν ἔχοντι. |
| [29]Any words hateful from your mouth not let come out but whatever is good and useful for improvement that you may give grace to those who hear |
[29]πᾶς λόγος σαπρὸς ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν μὴ ἐκπορευέσθω, ἀλλ’ εἴ τις ἀγαθὸς πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς χρείας, ἵνα δῷ χάριν τοῖς ἀκούουσι. |
| [30]Neither be you grieving The Spirit Holy of Alaha you have been sealed in Whom to the day of redemption |
[30]καὶ μὴ λυπεῖτε τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον τοῦ Θεοῦ, ἐν ᾧ ἐσφραγίσθητε εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπολυτρώσεως. |
| [31]All bitterness and fury and rage and clamor and insults let be taken away from you with all wickedness |
[31]πᾶσα πικρία καὶ θυμὸς καὶ ὀργὴ καὶ κραυγὴ καὶ βλασφημία ἀρθήτω ἀφ’ ὑμῶν, σὺν πάσῃ κακίᾳ· |
| [32]And be you sweet one to another and affectionate and be you forgiving one another just as Alaha in The Messiah has forgiven us |
[32]γίνεσθε δὲ εἰς ἀλλήλους χρηστοί, εὔσπλαγχνοι, χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς, καθὼς καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐν Χριστῷ ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν. |
