Ephesians - Chapter: 4


4:1	I therfore whiche am in boundes for the Lordes sake, exhorte you, that ye walke worthy of the vocation wherwyth ye are called,
4:2	in all humblenes of mynde, and mekenes, and longe sufferynge, forbearinge one another thorowe loue,
4:3	and that ye be diligente to kepe the vnitie of the spirite in the bounde of peace,
4:4	beynge one bodye, & one spirite, euen as ye are called in one hope of your callinge.
4:5	Let there be but one Lorde, one fayth, one baptysme,
4:6	one God and father of all, whiche is aboue al thorowe all and in you all.
4:7	Vnto euery one of vs is geuen grace accordinge to the measure of the gyfte of Christ.
4:8	Wherfore he sayth: He is gone vp on hye, and had led captiuitie captiue, and hath geuen gyftes vnto men.
4:9	That he ascended, what meaneth it, but that he also descended fyrste into the loweste parties of the earth?
4:10	He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp euen aboue all heauens, to fulfyll al thinges.
4:11	And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some sheperdes, some teachers,
4:12	that the saynctes myghte haue all thinges necessarye to worke and ministre wythal, to the edifiynge of the bodye of Christ,
4:13	tyl we euerie one (in the vnitie of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God) growe vp into a perfecte man, after the measure of age of the fulnes of Christ.
4:14	That we henceforth be no more chyldren, waueringe and caryed wyth euerye wynde of doctryne, by the wylynes of men and craftynes, wherby they laye awayte for vs to deceyue vs.
4:15	But let vs folowe the truethe in loue, and in al thinges growe in him which is the head, that is to saye, Christe,
4:16	in whom all the body is coupled and knyt together in euerye ioynt, wherwyth one ministreth to another (accordynge to the operation, as euerye parte hath hys measure) and encreaseth the bodye, vnto the edifiynge of it selfe in loue.
4:17	Thys I saye therfore and testifye in the Lorde, that ye henceforth walke not as other Gentyles walke, in vanitie of theyr mynde,
4:18	blynded in theyr vnderstandynge, beynge straungers from the lyfe whiche is in God thorowe the ignoraunce that is in them, because of the blyndnes of theyr hertes:
4:19	whiche beyng paste repentaunce, haue geuen them selues vnto wantonnes, to worke al maner of vncleanes, euen wyth gredines.
4:20	But ye haue not so learned Christ,
4:21	yf so be ye haue heard of hym, and are taughte of hym, euen as the trueth is in Iesu.
4:22	So then as concernyng the conuersacyon in tyme past, laye from you that olde man, whyche is corrupte thorowe the deceyueable lustes
4:23	and be ye renued in the spyrite of your mindes,
4:24	and put on that newe man, whyche after the Image of God is shapen in ryghteousnes & true holynes.
4:25	Wherfore put awaye lyinge, and speake euerye man trueth vnto hys neyghboure, for as muche as we are membres one of another.
4:26	Be angrye, but synne not, let not the sunne go doune vpon your wrath,
4:27	neyther geue place vnto the backebyter.
4:28	Let hym that stole, steale no more, but let hym rather laboure wyth his handes some good thynge, that he maye haue to geue vnto hym that nedeth.
4:29	Let no fylthy communication procede out of your mouthes: but that whiche is good to edefye wyth all, when nede is: that it maye haue fauoure with the hearers.
4:30	And greue not the holye spirite of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto the daye of redemption.
4:31	Let all bitternes, fearsnes and wrath, roring and cursed speakinge, be put awaye from you, wyth all maliciousnes.
4:32	Be ye courteouse one to another and mercyfull, forgeuynge one another, euen as God for Christes sake forgaue you.


4:1	I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,
4:2	With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,
4:3	Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4:4	There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.
4:5	There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,
4:6	One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.
4:7	But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
4:8	Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.
4:9	(Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?
4:10	Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)
4:11	Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,
4:12	For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,
4:13	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,
4:14	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.
4:15	But let vs folowe the truth in loue, and in all things, grow vp into him, which is the head, that is, Christ.
4:16	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.
4:17	This I say therefore and testifie in the Lord, that yee hencefoorth walke not as other Gentiles walke, in vanitie of their minde,
4:18	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:
4:19	Which being past feeling, haue giuen themselues vnto wantonnesse, to woorke all vncleannesse, euen with griedinesse.
4:20	But yee haue not so learned Christ,
4:21	If so be yee haue heard him, and haue bene taught by him, as the trueth is in Iesus,
4:22	That is, that yee cast off, concerning the conuersation in time past, that olde man, which is corrupt through the deceiueable lustes,
4:23	And be renued in the spirit of your minde,
4:24	And put on ye new man, which after God is created vnto righteousnes, and true holines.
4:25	Wherefore cast off lying, and speake euery man truth vnto his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
4:26	Bee angrie, but sinne not: let not the sunne goe downe vpon your wrath,
4:27	Neither giue place to the deuill.
4:28	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.
4:29	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.
4:30	And grieue not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed vnto ye day of redemption.
4:31	Let all bitternesse, and anger, and wrath, crying, and euill speaking be put away from you, with all maliciousnesse.
4:32	Be ye courteous one to another, and tender hearted, freely forgiuing one another, euen as God for Christes sake, freely forgaue you.


4:1	I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
4:2	With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
4:3	Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4:4	There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
4:5	One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
4:6	One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
4:7	But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
4:8	Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
4:9	(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
4:10	He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
4:11	And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
4:12	For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
4:13	Till 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:
4:14	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, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
4:15	But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
4:16	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 unto the edifying of itself in love.
4:17	This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
4:18	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:
4:19	Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
4:20	But ye have not so learned Christ;
4:21	If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
4:22	That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
4:23	And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
4:24	And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
4:25	Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
4:26	Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
4:27	Neither give place to the devil.
4:28	Let 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.
4:29	Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
4:30	And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
4:31	Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
4:32	And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
