| [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 therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation by which 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 lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love; |
| [3]And be you diligent to keep the harmony of The Spirit in the bonds of peace |
[3]Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond 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]There is one body, and one Spirit, even 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 Lord, one faith, one baptism, |
| [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, who is above 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 to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. |
| [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]Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men. |
| [9]That He ascended but what? is that but if that also He descended first to the lower regions of the earth |
[9]Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts 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 the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. |
| [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 gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors 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]For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: |
| [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]Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: |
| [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 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, by which they lie in wait to deceive: |
| [15]But we were firm in our love that all affairs our may increase in The Messiah Who is The Head |
[15]But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, who is the head, even 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]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 to the edifying of itself in love. |
| [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 therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, |
| [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]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]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]Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. |
| [20]You but not have in this way you learned Him The Messiah |
[20]But ye have not so learned Christ; |
| [21]If truly you have heard Him and by Him you have learned as whatever is the truth is in Ieshu |
[21]If indeed ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: |
| [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]That ye put off concerning the former manner of life the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts: |
| [23]And you should be made new in the spirit of your minds |
[23]And be renewed in the Spirit of your mind; |
| [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 that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. |
| [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]Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for 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 sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: |
| [27]Neither you should give a place to The Slanderer |
[27]Neither give place to the devil. |
| [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 him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him 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 corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace to 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 grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed to 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 bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil-speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: |
| [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]And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. |
