I{G1473} therefore,{G3767} the prisoner{G1198} in{G1722} the Lord,{G2962} beseech{G3870} you{G5209} to walk{G4043} worthily{G516} of the calling{G2821} wherewith{G3739} ye were called,{G2564}

with{G3326} all{G3956} lowliness{G5012} and{G2532} meekness,{G4236} with{G3326} longsuffering,{G3115} forbearing{G430} one another{G240} in{G1722} love;{G26}

giving diligence{G4704} to keep{G5083} the unity{G1775} of the Spirit{G4151} in{G1722} the bond{G4886} of peace.{G1515}

[ There is] one{G1520} body,{G4983} and{G2532} one{G1520} Spirit,{G4151} even{G2532} as{G2531} also ye were called{G2564} in{G1722} one{G1520} hope{G1680} of your{G5216} calling;{G2821}

one{G1520} Lord,{G2962} one{G1520} faith,{G4102} one{G1520} baptism,{G908}

one{G1520} God{G2316} and{G2532} Father{G3962} of all,{G3956} who{G3588} is over{G1909} all,{G3956} and{G2532} through{G1223} all,{G3956} and{G2532} in{G1722} {G5213} all.{G3956}

But{G1161} unto each{G1538} one{G1520} of us{G2257} was the grace{G5485} given{G1325} according to{G2596} the measure{G3358} of the gift{G1431} of Christ.{G5547}

Wherefore{G1352} he saith,{G3004} When he ascended{G305} on{G1519} high,{G5311} he led{G162} captivity{G161} captive,{G162} And{G2532} gave{G1325} gifts{G1390} unto men.{G444}

(Now{G1161} this,{G3588} He{G2597} ascended,{G305} what{G5101} is it{G2076} {G1487} but{G3361} that{G3754} he{G2597} also{G2532} descended{G2597} into{G1519} the lower{G2737} parts{G3313} of the earth?{G1093}

He that{G3588} descended{G2597} is{G2076} the same{G846} also{G2532} that{G3588} ascended{G305} far above{G5231} all{G3956} the heavens,{G3772} that{G2443} he might fill{G4137} all things.){G3956}

And{G2532} he{G846} gave{G1325} some{G3303} [to be] apostles;{G652} and{G1161} some,{G3588} prophets;{G4396} and{G1161} some,{G3588} evangelists;{G2099} and{G1161} some,{G3588} pastors{G4166} and{G2532} teachers;{G1320}

for{G4314} the perfecting{G2677} of the saints,{G40} unto{G1519} the work{G2041} of ministering,{G1248} unto{G1519} the building{G3619} up of the body{G4983} of Christ:{G5547}

till{G3360} we{G2658} all{G3956} attain{G2658} unto{G1519} the unity{G1775} of the faith,{G4102} and{G2532} of the knowledge{G1922} of the Son{G5207} of God,{G2316} unto{G1519} a fullgrown{G5046} man,{G435} unto{G1519} the measure{G3358} of the stature{G2244} of the fulness{G4138} of Christ:{G5547}

that{G2443} we{G5600} may be{G5600} no longer{G3371} children,{G3516} tossed to and fro{G2831} and{G2532} carried about{G4064} with every{G3956} wind{G417} of doctrine,{G1319} by{G1722} the sleight{G2940} of men,{G444} in{G1722} craftiness,{G3834} {G3588} after{G4314} the wiles{G3180} of error;{G4106}

but{G1161} speaking truth{G226} in{G1722} love,{G26} we may grow up{G837} in all things{G3956} into{G1519} him,{G846} who{G3739} is{G2076} the head,{G2776} [even] Christ;{G5547}

from{G1537} whom{G3739} all{G3956} the body{G4983} fitly framed and{G2532} knit{G4822} together{G4883} through{G1223} that which{G3588} every{G3956} joint{G860} supplieth,{G2024} according to{G2596} the working{G1753} in{G1722} [due] measure{G3358} of each{G1520} several{G1538} part,{G3313} maketh{G4160} the increase{G838} of the body{G4983} unto{G1519} the building{G3619} up of itself{G1438} in{G1722} love.{G26}

This{G5124} I say{G3004} therefore,{G3767} and{G2532} testify{G3143} in{G1722} the Lord,{G2962} that ye{G5209} no{G3371} longer{G2532} walk{G4043} as{G2531} the {G3062} Gentiles{G1484} also walk,{G4043} in{G1722} the vanity{G3153} of their{G846} mind,{G3563}

being{G5607} darkened{G4654} in their understanding,{G1271} alienated{G526} from the life{G2222} of God,{G2316} because{G1223} of the ignorance{G52} that is{G5607} in{G1722} them,{G846} because{G1223} of the hardening{G4457} of their{G846} heart;{G2588}

who{G3748} being past feeling{G524} gave{G3860} themselves{G1438} up{G3860} to lasciviousness,{G766} to{G1519} work{G2039} all{G3956} uncleanness{G167} with{G1722} greediness.{G4124}

But{G1161} ye{G5210} did{G3129} not{G3756} so{G3779} learn{G3129} Christ;{G5547}

if so be that{G1489} ye heard{G191} him,{G846} and{G2532} were taught{G1321} in{G1722} him,{G846} even as{G2531} truth{G225} is{G2076} in{G1722} Jesus:{G2424}

that ye{G5209} put away,{G659} as concerning{G2596} your former{G4387} manner of life,{G391} the old{G3820} man,{G444} that{G3588} waxeth corrupt{G5351} after{G2596} the lusts{G1939} of deceit;{G539}

and{G1161} that ye be renewed{G365} in the spirit{G4151} of your{G5216} mind,{G3563}

and{G2532} put on{G1746} the new{G2537} man,{G444} that{G3588} after{G2596} God{G2316} hath been created{G2936} in{G1722} righteousness{G1343} and{G2532} holiness{G3742} of truth.{G225}

Wherefore,{G1352} putting away{G659} falsehood,{G5579} speak{G2980} ye truth{G225} each one{G1538} with{G3326} his{G846} neighbor:{G4139} for{G3754} we are{G2070} members{G3196} one of another.{G240}

Be ye angry,{G3710} and{G2532} sin{G264} not:{G3361} let{G1931} not{G3361} the sun{G2246} go down{G1931} upon{G1909} your{G5216} wrath:{G3950}

neither{G3383} give{G1325} place{G5117} to the devil.{G1228}

Let him{G2813} that{G3588} stole{G2813} steal{G2813} no more:{G3371} but{G1161} rather{G3123} let him{G2872} labor,{G2872} working{G2038} with{G5495} his hands{G5495} the thing that is{G3588} good,{G18} that{G2443} he may have{G2192} whereof to give{G3330} to him that{G3588} hath{G2192} need.{G5532}

Let{G1607} {G3956} no{G3361} corrupt{G4550} speech{G3056} proceed{G1607} out of{G1537} your{G5216} mouth,{G4750} but{G235} such{G1487} as is{G5100} good{G18} for{G4314} edifying{G3619} as the need{G5532} may be, that{G2443} it may give{G1325} grace{G5485} to them that hear.{G191}

And{G2532} grieve{G3076} not{G3361} the Holy{G40} Spirit{G4151} of God,{G1722} in whom{G3739} ye were sealed{G4972} unto{G1519} the day{G2250} of redemption.{G629}

Let{G142} all{G3956} bitterness,{G4088} and{G2532} wrath,{G2372} and{G2532} anger,{G3709} and{G2532} clamor,{G2906} and{G2532} railing,{G988} be put away{G142} from{G575} you,{G5216} with{G4862} all{G3956} malice:{G2549}

and{G1161} be ye{G1096} kind{G5543} one{G240} to{G1519} another,{G240} tenderhearted,{G2155} forgiving{G5483} each other,{G1438} even{G2532} as{G2531} God{G2316} also in{G1722} Christ{G5547} forgave{G5483} you.{G5213}
