- 1I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ ὁ δέσμιος ἐν κυρίῳ ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε
- 2With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πραΰτητος μετὰ μακροθυμίας ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων ἐν ἀγάπῃ
- 3Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.σπουδάζοντες τηρεῖν τὴν ἑνότητα τοῦ πνεύματος ἐν τῷ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης
- 4There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;ἓν σῶμα καὶ ἓν πνεῦμα καθὼς καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν μιᾷ ἐλπίδι τῆς κλήσεως ὑμῶν
- 5One Lord, one faith, one baptism,εἷς κύριος μία πίστις ἓν βάπτισμα
- 6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.εἷς θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ πάντων ὁ ἐπὶ πάντων καὶ διὰ πάντων καὶ ἐν ⸀πᾶσιν
- 7But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.Ἑνὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ ἡμῶν ἐδόθη ⸀ἡ χάρις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τῆς δωρεᾶς τοῦ Χριστοῦ
- 8Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.διὸ λέγει Ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν ⸀ἔδωκεν δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις
- 9(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?τὸ δὲ Ἀνέβη τί ἐστιν εἰ μὴ ὅτι καὶ ⸀κατέβη εἰς τὰ κατώτερα μέρη τῆς γῆς
- 10He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)ὁ καταβὰς αὐτός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ ἀναβὰς ὑπεράνω πάντων τῶν οὐρανῶν ἵνα πληρώσῃ τὰ πάντα
- 11And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;καὶ αὐτὸς ἔδωκεν τοὺς μὲν ἀποστόλους τοὺς δὲ προφήτας τοὺς δὲ εὐαγγελιστάς τοὺς δὲ ποιμένας καὶ διδασκάλους
- 12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:πρὸς τὸν καταρτισμὸν τῶν ἁγίων εἰς ἔργον διακονίας εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ Χριστοῦ
- 13Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: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
- 14That 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, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;ἵνα μηκέτι ὦμεν νήπιοι κλυδωνιζόμενοι καὶ περιφερόμενοι παντὶ ἀνέμῳ τῆς διδασκαλίας ἐν τῇ κυβείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν πανουργίᾳ πρὸς τὴν μεθοδείαν τῆς πλάνης
- 15But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:ἀληθεύοντες δὲ ἐν ἀγάπῃ αὐξήσωμεν εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλή ⸀Χριστός
- 16From 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 unto the edifying of itself in love.ἐξ οὗ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον διὰ πάσης ἁφῆς τῆς ἐπιχορηγίας κατ’ ἐνέργειαν ἐν μέτρῳ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου μέρους τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ σώματος ποιεῖται εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ
- 17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,Τοῦτο οὖν λέγω καὶ μαρτύρομαι ἐν κυρίῳ μηκέτι ὑμᾶς περιπατεῖν καθὼς καὶ ⸀τὰ ἔθνη περιπατεῖ ἐν ματαιότητι τοῦ νοὸς αὐτῶν
- 18Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:τῇ διανοίᾳ ὄντες τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ θεοῦ διὰ τὴν ἄγνοιαν τὴν οὖσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς διὰ τὴν πώρωσιν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν
- 19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.οἵτινες ἀπηλγηκότες ἑαυτοὺς παρέδωκαν τῇ ἀσελγείᾳ εἰς ἐργασίαν ἀκαθαρσίας πάσης ἐν πλεονεξίᾳ
- 20But ye have not so learned Christ;ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ ἐμάθετε τὸν Χριστόν
- 21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:εἴ γε αὐτὸν ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐδιδάχθητε καθώς ἐστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν τῷ Ἰησοῦ
- 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς κατὰ τὴν προτέραν ἀναστροφὴν τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπάτης
- 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;ἀνανεοῦσθαι δὲ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν
- 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.καὶ ἐνδύσασθαι τὸν καινὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν κατὰ θεὸν κτισθέντα ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ὁσιότητι τῆς ἀληθείας
- 25Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.Διὸ ἀποθέμενοι τὸ ψεῦδος λαλεῖτε ἀλήθειαν ἕκαστος μετὰ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ ὅτι ἐσμὲν ἀλλήλων μέλη
- 26Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε ὁ ἥλιος μὴ ἐπιδυέτω ⸀ἐπὶ παροργισμῷ ὑμῶν
- 27Neither give place to the devil.μηδὲ δίδοτε τόπον τῷ διαβόλῳ
- 28Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.ὁ κλέπτων μηκέτι κλεπτέτω μᾶλλον δὲ κοπιάτω ἐργαζόμενος ⸂ταῖς ἰδίαις χερσὶν τὸ ἀγαθόν⸃ ἵνα ἔχῃ μεταδιδόναι τῷ χρείαν ἔχοντι
- 29Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.πᾶς λόγος σαπρὸς ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν μὴ ἐκπορευέσθω ἀλλὰ εἴ ἀγαθὸς πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς χρείας ἵνα δῷ χάριν τοῖς ἀκούουσιν
- 30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.καὶ μὴ λυπεῖτε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ θεοῦ ἐν ᾧ ἐσφραγίσθητε εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπολυτρώσεως
- 31Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:πᾶσα πικρία καὶ θυμὸς καὶ ὀργὴ καὶ κραυγὴ καὶ βλασφημία ἀρθήτω ἀφ’ ὑμῶν σὺν πάσῃ κακίᾳ
- 32And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.⸀γίνεσθε εἰς ἀλλήλους χρηστοί εὔσπλαγχνοι χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς καθὼς καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἐν Χριστῷ ἐχαρίσατο ⸀ὑμῖν
