Ephesians 4

1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,

παρακαλω ουν υμας εγω ο δεσμιος εν κυριω αξιως περιπατησαι της κλησεως ης εκληθητε

2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

μετα πασης ταπεινοφροσυνης και πραοτητος μετα μακροθυμιας ανεχομενοι αλληλων εν αγαπη

3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

σπουδαζοντες τηρειν την ενοτητα του πνευματος εν τω συνδεσμω της ειρηνης

4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,

εν σωμα και εν πνευμα καθως και εκληθητε εν μια ελπιδι της κλησεως υμων

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

εις κυριος μια πιστις εν βαπτισμα

6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.

εις θεος και πατηρ παντων ο επι παντων και δια παντων και εν πασιν ημιν

7 But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

ενι δε εκαστω ημων εδοθη η χαρις κατα το μετρον της δωρεας του χριστου

8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”

διο λεγει αναβας εις υψος ηχμαλωτευσεν αιχμαλωσιαν και εδωκεν δοματα τοις ανθρωποις

9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

το δε ανεβη τι εστιν ει μη οτι και κατεβη πρωτον εις τα κατωτερα μερη της γης

10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.

ο καταβας αυτος εστιν και ο αναβας υπερανω παντων των ουρανων ινα πληρωση τα παντα

11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;

και αυτος εδωκεν τους μεν αποστολους τους δε προφητας τους δε ευαγγελιστας τους δε ποιμενας και διδασκαλους

12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

προς τον καταρτισμον των αγιων εις εργον διακονιας εις οικοδομην του σωματος του χριστου

13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

μεχρι καταντησωμεν οι παντες εις την ενοτητα της πιστεως και της επιγνωσεως του υιου του θεου εις ανδρα τελειον εις μετρον ηλικιας του πληρωματος του χριστου

14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;

ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω της διδασκαλιας εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων εν πανουργια προς την μεθοδειαν της πλανης

15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

αληθευοντες δε εν αγαπη αυξησωμεν εις αυτον τα παντα ος εστιν η κεφαλη ο χριστος

16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.

εξ ου παν το σωμα συναρμολογουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον δια πασης αφης της επιχορηγιας κατ ενεργειαν εν μετρω ενος εκαστου μερους την αυξησιν του σωματος ποιειται εις οικοδομην εαυτου εν αγαπη

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

τουτο ουν λεγω και μαρτυρομαι εν κυριω μηκετι υμας περιπατειν καθως και τα λοιπα εθνη περιπατει εν ματαιοτητι του νοος αυτων

18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.

εσκοτισμενοι τη διανοια οντες απηλλοτριωμενοι της ζωης του θεου δια την αγνοιαν την ουσαν εν αυτοις δια την πωρωσιν της καρδιας αυτων

19 They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

οιτινες απηλγηκοτες εαυτους παρεδωκαν τη ασελγεια εις εργασιαν ακαθαρσιας πασης εν πλεονεξια

20 But you did not learn Christ that way,

υμεις δε ουχ ουτως εμαθετε τον χριστον

21 if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:

ειγε αυτον ηκουσατε και εν αυτω εδιδαχθητε καθως εστιν αληθεια εν τω ιησου

22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,

αποθεσθαι υμας κατα την προτεραν αναστροφην τον παλαιον ανθρωπον τον φθειρομενον κατα τας επιθυμιας της απατης

23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

ανανεουσθαι δε τω πνευματι του νοος υμων

24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

και ενδυσασθαι τον καινον ανθρωπον τον κατα θεον κτισθεντα εν δικαιοσυνη και οσιοτητι της αληθειας

25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

διο αποθεμενοι το ψευδος λαλειτε αληθειαν εκαστος μετα του πλησιον αυτου οτι εσμεν αλληλων μελη

26 “Be angry, and do not sin.” Do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

οργιζεσθε και μη αμαρτανετε ο ηλιος μη επιδυετω επι τω παροργισμω υμων

27 and do not give place to the devil.

μηδε διδοτε τοπον τω διαβολω

28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.

ο κλεπτων μηκετι κλεπτετω μαλλον δε κοπιατω εργαζομενος το αγαθον ταις χερσιν ινα εχη μεταδιδοναι τω χρειαν εχοντι

29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

πας λογος σαπρος εκ του στοματος υμων μη εκπορευεσθω αλλ ει τις αγαθος προς οικοδομην της χρειας ινα δω χαριν τοις ακουουσιν

30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

και μη λυπειτε το πνευμα το αγιον του θεου εν ω εσφραγισθητε εις ημεραν απολυτρωσεως

31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.

πασα πικρια και θυμος και οργη και κραυγη και βλασφημια αρθητω αφ υμων συν παση κακια

32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

γινεσθε δε εις αλληλους χρηστοι ευσπλαγχνοι χαριζομενοι εαυτοις καθως και ο θεος εν χριστω εχαρισατο ημιν
