Ephesians 4
1 I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
Exhort therefore you I myself the prisoner in [the] Lord worthily to walk of the calling to which you were called,
2 With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3 Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace,
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
one body and one Spirit even as also you were called into one hope of the calling of you;
5 There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
one God and Father of all, who [is] over all and through all [times] and in all (in you. *K+O)
7 But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
One now to each of us has been given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
Therefore it says: Having ascended on high He led captive captivity, (and *ko) he gave gifts to men.
9 (Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
And He ascended, what is [this] only except that also He descended (first *K) into the lower regions of the earth?
10 Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
The [One] having descended [the] same is also [one] having ascended above all the heavens, so that He may fill all things.
11 Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
And He himself gave some indeed [to be] apostles, some however prophets, some however evangelists, some however shepherds and teachers,
12 For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
toward the perfecting of the saints for [the] work of ministry, for [the] building up of the body of Christ;
13 Till we all meete together (in the vnitie of faith and that acknowledging of the Sonne of God) vnto a perfite man, and vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christ,
until we may attain all to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a man a complete, to [the] measure of [the] stature of the fullness of Christ;
14 That we henceforth be no more children, wauering and caried about with euery winde of doctrine, by the deceit of men, and with craftines, whereby they lay in wait to deceiue.
so that no longer we may be infants being tossed by waves and being carried about by every wind of teaching in the cunning of men in craftiness with a view to the scheming of deceit,
15 But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
Speaking the truth however in love we may grow up into Him in all things who is the head, Christ
16 By whome al the body being coupled and knit together by euery ioynt, for ye furniture therof (according to the effectual power, which is in the measure of euery part) receiueth increase of the body, vnto the edifying of itselfe in loue.
from whom all the body being joined together and being held together through every ligament of [its] supply according to [the] working in [the] measure individual of each part the increase of the body makes for itself to [the] building up of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
This therefore I say and I testify in [the] Lord No longer [are] you to walk even as also the (rest of *K) Gentiles are walking in [the] futility of the mind of them,
18 Hauing their vnderstanding darkened, and being strangers from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardnesse of their heart:
(darkened *N+kO) in the understanding being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance which is being in them, on account of the hardness of the heart of them;
19 Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
who having cast off all feeling themselves they gave up to sensuality for [the] working of impurity all with greediness.
20 But yee haue not so learned Christ,
you yourselves however not this way learned Christ,
21 If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
if indeed Him you have heard and in Him were taught, even as is [the] truth in Jesus,
22 That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
Are to have put off you concerning the former way of life the old man which is being corrupted according to [its] desires of deceit,
23 And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
to be renewed then in the spirit of the mind of you
24 And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
and to have put on the new man according to God having been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Therefore having put off falsehood do speak truth each one with the neighbour of him, because we are of one another members.
26 Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
do be angry and yet not do sin; The sun not should set upon the anger of you;
27 Neither giue place to the deuill.
(neither *N+kO) do give opportunity to the devil.
28 Let him that stole, steale no more: but let him rather labour, and worke with his handes the thing which is good, that hee may haue to giue vnto him that needeth.
who is stealing no longer he should steal, rather however he should toil working with [their] own hands what [is] good, so that he may have [something] to impart to the [one] need having.
29 Let no corrupt comunication proceed out of your mouths: but that which is good, to ye vse of edifying, that it may minister grace vnto the hearers.
Any word unwholesome out of the mouth of you not should go forth but if any good for edification of the need, so that it shall give grace to those hearing.
30 And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
And not do grieve the Spirit Holy of God in whom you were sealed for [the] day of redemption.
31 Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
All bitterness and rage and anger and clamor and slander should be removed from you along with all malice.
32 Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.
do be now to one another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving each other even as also God in Christ forgave (you. *NK+O)
