| [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]I therfore, a prisoner in the Lorde, exhorte you, that ye walke worthy of the vocatio wherewith ye are called |
| [2]In all humility of mind and quietness and length of spirit and you would be patient one toward another in love |
[2]With all lowlynesse & mekenesse, with long sufferyng, forbearyng one another in loue |
| [3]And be you diligent to keep the harmony of The Spirit in the bonds of peace |
[3]Endeuoryng to kepe the vnitie of the spirite in the bonde of peace |
| [4]That you would be in one body and in One Spirit as when you were called in one hope of your calling |
[4]One body and one spirite, euen as ye are called in one hope of your calling |
| [5]One there is for the Lord and one faith and one baptism |
[5]One Lorde, one fayth, one baptisme |
| [6]And one Alaha The Father of all and over all and with all and in us all |
[6]One God, and father of all, whiche is aboue all, and through all, and in you all |
| [7]To each one of us but is given grace according to the size of the gift of the Messiah |
[7]But vnto euery one of vs, is geuen grace, accordyng to the measure of the gyft of Christe |
| [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]Wherfore he saith: When he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitie captiue, and gaue gyftes vnto men |
| [9]That He ascended but what? is that but if that also He descended first to the lower regions of the earth |
[9](But that he ascended, what is it? but that he also descended first into the lower partes of the earth |
| [10]He Who descended is He The Same Who also ascended higher than all Heavens to restore all things |
[10]He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp farre aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges. |
| [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]And he gaue some apostles, and some prophetes, and some euangelistes, and some shepheardes and teachers |
| [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]To the gatheryng together of the saintes, into the worke of ministration, into the edifiyng of the body of Christe |
| [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]Tyll we all meete together into the vnitie of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God, vnto a perfect man, vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christe |
| [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]That we hencefoorth be no more children, wauering and caryed about with euery wynde of doctrine, in the wylynesse of men, in craftynesse, to the laying wayte of deceyte |
| [15]But we were firm in our love that all affairs our may increase in The Messiah Who is The Head |
[15]But folowyng trueth in loue, let vs growe vp into him in all thynges whiche is the head, Christ |
| [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]In whom all the body beyng coupled and knit together by euery ioynt of subministration, accordyng to the effectuall power in ye measure of euery part, maketh increase of the body, vnto the edifiyng of it selfe in loue |
| [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]This I say therfore, and testifie in the Lorde, that ye hencefoorth walke not as other gentiles walke, in vanitie of their mynde |
| [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]Darkened in cogitation, being alienated from the lyfe of God by the ignoraunce that is in them, by the blindnesse of their heartes |
| [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]Whiche beyng past feelyng, haue geuen the selues ouer vnto wantonnesse, to worke al vncleanenesse with greedynesse |
| [20]You but not have in this way you learned Him The Messiah |
[20]But ye haue not so learned Christe |
| [21]If truly you have heard Him and by Him you have learned as whatever is the truth is in Ieshu |
[21]Yf so be that ye haue hearde hym, and haue ben taught in hym, as the trueth is in Iesus |
| [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]To lay downe, accordyng to the former conuersation, ye olde man, which is corrupt, accordyng to the lustes of error |
| [23]And you should be made new in the spirit of your minds |
[23]To be renued in the spirite of your mynde |
| [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]And to put on that newe man, which after God is shapen, in righteousnesse & holynesse of trueth |
| [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]Wherfore, puttyng away lying, speake euery man trueth vnto his neyghbour, forasmuch as we are members one of another |
| [26]Be angry and not sin you and the sun on your anger not let set |
[26]Be ye angry, and sinne not, let not the sunne go downe vpon your wrath |
| [27]Neither you should give a place to The Slanderer |
[27]Neither geue place to the deuyll |
| [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]Let hym that stole, steale no more: but let hym rather labour, workyng with his handes the thyng whiche is good, that he may geue vnto hym that needeth |
| [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]Let no fylthy communication procede out of your mouth, but that whiche is good to edifie withal, as oft as neede is, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers |
| [30]Neither be you grieving The Spirit Holy of Alaha you have been sealed in Whom to the day of redemption |
[30]And greeue not the holy spirite of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto the day of redemption |
| [31]All bitterness and fury and rage and clamor and insults let be taken away from you with all wickedness |
[31]Let all bytternesse, and fiercenesse, & wrath, and crying, and euyll speakyng, be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse |
| [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]Be ye curteous one to another, merciful, forgeuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake hath forgeuen you |
