Ephesians - Chapter: 4


4:1	I therfore (which am a presonner of the Lordes) exhorte you, that ye walke worthy of the vocacyon wherwith ye are called,
4:2	with all lowlynes and mekenesse, with humblenes of mynde, forbearynge one another thorowe loue,
4:3	and be diligent to kepe the vnitie of the sprete thorowe the bonde of peace,
4:4	beynge one body, and one sprete, euen as ye are called in one hope of your callinge.
4:5	One Lorde, one fayth, one baptyme
4:6	one God and father of all, which is aboue all and thorowe all, and in you all.
4:7	Unto euery one of vs is geuen grace, accordynge to the measure of the gyfte of Chryst.
4:8	Wherfore he sayth: whan he went vp an hye, he ledde captiuitye captyue, and gaue gyftes vnto men.
4:9	That he ascended: what meaneth it? but that he also descended fyrst into the lowest partes of the erth?
4:10	He that descended, is euen the same also that ascended vp, aboue all heauens, to fulfyll all thynges.
4:11	And the very same made some Apostles, some Prophetes, some Euangelistes, some Shepherdes and Teachers:
4:12	to the edifyenge of the saynctes, to the worke and ministracyon, euen to the edifyinge of the body of Chryst,
4:13	tyll we all come to the vnitye of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God, vnto a perfecte man, vnto the measure of the full perfecte age of Chryst
4:14	That we hence forth shulde be nomore chyldren, wauerynge & caryed aboute with euery wynde of doctrine, by the wylynes of men, thorowe craftynes, wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceaue vs.
4:15	But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thynges growe in hym, which is the heed, euen Christ,
4:16	in whom yf all the body be coupled and knet together thorow out euery ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordynge to the operacyon as euery parte hath hys measure) he increaseth the body, vnto the edifyinge of it selfe thorowe loue.
4:17	This I saye therfore, and testifye thorowe the Lorde, that ye hence forth walke not, as other Gentyls walke, in vanite of theyr minde,
4:18	whyle they are blinded in their vnderstandynge, beynge farre from a godly lyfe, by the meanes of the ignorancy that is in them, and because of the blyndnes of their hertes:
4:19	which beynge past repentaunce, haue geuen them selues ouer vnto wantannes, to worke all manner of vnclennes, euen with gredines.
4:20	But ye haue not so learned Christ.
4:21	If so be that ye haue hearde of him, and haue bene taught in him, as the trueth is in Iesu:
4:22	(as concernynge the conuersacyon in tyme past) to laye from you that olde man, which is corrupte, accordynge to the deceauable lustes.
4:23	To be renued also in the sprete of youre mynde,
4:24	and to put on that newe man, which after God is shapen in ryghte wesnes and true holynes.
4:25	Wherfore, put awaye lyinge, & speake euery man truth vnto his neyghboure, for as moche as we are members one of another.
4:26	Be angrye, and synne not: let not the sunne go doune vpon youre wrath,
4:27	nether geue place vnto the backbyter.
4:28	Let hym that stole, steale nomore but let him rather laboure wt his handes the thynge which is good, that he maye geue vnto him that nedeth.
4:29	Let no fylthy communicacion procede out of youre mouth: but that which is good to edifye wt all, as oft as nede is that it maye minister grace vnto the hearers.
4:30	And greue not ye the holy sprete of God by whom ye are sealed vnto the daye of redempcyon.
4:31	Let all bitternes & fearsnes & wrath & rorynge & cursyd speakynge, be put awaye from you, with all maliciousnes.
4:32	Be ye courteouse one to another, mercyfull, forgeuynge one another, euen as God for Christes sake hath forgeuen you.


4:1	Therfor Y boundun for the Lord biseche you, that ye walke worthili in the clepyng,
4:2	in which ye ben clepid, with al mekenesse and myldenesse, with pacience supportinge ech other in charite,
4:3	bisi to kepe vnyte of spirit in the boond of pees.
4:4	O bodi and o spirit, as ye ben clepid in oon hope of youre cleping;
4:5	o Lord,
4:6	o feith, o baptym, o God and fadir of alle, which is aboue alle men, and bi alle thingis, and in vs alle.
4:7	But to ech of vs grace is youun bi the mesure of the yyuyng of Crist;
4:8	for which thing he seith, He stiynge an hiy, ledde caitifte caitif, he yaf yiftis to men.
4:9	But what is it, that he stiede vp, no but that also he cam doun first in to the lowere partis of the erthe?
4:10	He it is that cam doun, and that stiede on alle heuenes, that he schulde fille alle thingis.
4:11	And he yaf summe apostlis, summe prophetis, othere euangelistis, othere scheepherdis and techeris,
4:12	to the ful endyng of seyntis, in to the werk of mynystrie, in to edificacioun of Cristis bodi,
4:13	til we rennen alle, in to vnyte of feith and of knowyng of Goddis sone, in to a parfit man, aftir the mesure of age of the plente of Crist;
4:14	that we be not now litle children, mouynge as wawis, and be not borun aboute with ech wynd of teching, in the weiwardnesse of men, in sutil wit, to the disseyuyng of errour.
4:15	But do we treuthe in charite, and wexe in him by alle thingis, that is Crist oure heed;
4:16	of whom alle the bodi set togidere, and boundun togidere bi ech ioynture of vnder seruyng, bi worching in to the mesure of ech membre, makith encreesyng of the bodi, in to edificacioun of it silf in charite.
4:17	Therfor Y seie and witnesse this thing in the Lord, that ye walke not now, as hethene men walken, in the vanyte of her wit;
4:18	that han vndurstondyng derkned with derknessis, and ben alienyd fro the lijf of God, bi ignoraunce that is in hem, for the blyndenesse of her herte.
4:19	Which dispeirynge bitoken hem silf to vnchastite, in to the worchyng of al vnclennesse in coueitise.
4:20	But ye han not so lerud Crist, if netheles ye herden hym,
4:21	and ben tauyt in hym, as is treuthe in Jhesu.
4:22	Do ye awey bi the elde lyuyng the elde man, that is corrupt bi the desiris of errour;
4:23	and be ye renewlid in the spirit of youre soule;
4:24	and clothe ye the newe man, which is maad aftir God in riytwisnesse and hoolynesse of treuthe.
4:25	For which thing `ye putte awei leesyng, and speke ye treuthe ech man with his neiybore, for we ben membris ech to othere.
4:26	Be ye wrooth, and nyle ye do synne; the sunne falle not doun on youre wraththe.
4:27	Nyle ye yyue stide to the deuel.
4:28	He that stal, now stele he not; but more trauele he in worchinge with hise hondis that that is good, that he haue whereof he schal yyue to nedi.
4:29	Ech yuel word go not of youre mouth; but if ony is good to the edificacioun of feith, that it yyue grace to men that heren.
4:30	And nyle ye make the Hooli Goost of God sori, in which ye ben markid in the dai of redempcioun.
4:31	Al bitternesse, and wraththe, and indignacioun, and cry, and blasfemye be takun awey fro you, with al malice;
4:32	and be ye togidere benygne, merciful, foryyuynge togidere, as also God foryaf to you in Crist.


4:1	I therfore which am presoner in the LORDE, exhorte you, that ye walke as it becometh yor callinge wherin ye are called,
4:2	with all humblenes off mynde and mekenes, and longe sufferinge, forbearinge one another in loue,
4:3	and be diligent to kepe the vnite of the sprete thorow the bonde of peace.
4:4	One body and one sprete, eue as ye are called in one hope of youre callynge.
4:5	One LORDE, one faith, one baptyme,
4:6	one God and father of vs all, which is aboue all, and thorow all, and in you all.
4:7	Vnto euery one of vs is geuen grace, acordinge to the measure off the gifte off Christ.
4:8	Therfore sayeth he: He is gone vp an hye, and hath led awaye captiuyte captyue, and hath geue giftes vnto men.
4:9	That he wente, vp what is it, but that he first came downe in to ye lowest partes of ye earth?
4:10	He that came downe, is euen the same which is gone vp aboue all heauens, to fulfill all.
4:11	And ye same hath set some to be Apostles, some to be prophetes, some to be Euangelistes, some to be shepherdes & teachers,
4:12	wherby the sayntes mighte be coupled together thorow comen seruyce to the edifienge of ye body of Christ,
4:13	tyll we all come vnto one maner of faith and knowlege of the sonne of God, and become a perfecte man in to the measure of the perfecte age of Christ
4:14	that we be nomore children, waueringe & caried aboute with euery wynde of doctryne thorow the wickednes of men and craftynes, wherby they laye awayte for vs to disceaue vs.
4:15	But let vs folowe the trueth in loue, and in all thinges growe in him, which is the heade, euen Christ,
4:16	in whom all the body is coupled together, and one membre hangeth by another thorow out all ye ioyntes. Wherby one mynistreth vnto another (acordinge to the operacion as euery membre hath his measure) and maketh, that ye body groweth to the edifienge of
4:17	This I saye therfore, and testifye in the LORDE, that ye walke nomore as ye other Heythen walke in the vanite of their mynde,
4:18	blynded in their vnderstondinge, beynge straungers fro the life which is in God thorow the ignoraunce that is in them, because of the blyndnes of their hert:
4:19	which beynge past repentaunce, haue geue them selues ouer vnto wantonnes, to worke all maner of vnclennes euen with gredynesse.
4:20	But ye haue not so learned Christ,
4:21	yf so be that ye haue herde of him, & are taught in him, euen as the trueth is in Iesu.
4:22	So then as concernynge the conuersacion in tyme past laye from you that olde man which marreth himselfe thorow disceauable lustes:
4:23	but be ye renued in the sprete of youre mynde,
4:24	and put on that new man, which is shapen after God, in true righteousnes and holynes.
4:25	Wherfore put awaye lyenge, and speake euery man the trueth vnto his neghboure, for as moch as we are membres one of another.
4:26	Be angrie, but synne not. Let not ye Sonne go downe vpo youre wrath:
4:27	nether geue place to the bacbyter.
4:28	He that hath stollen, let him steale nomore: but let him laboure rather, and do some good with his hondes, that he maye haue to geue vnto him that nedeth.
4:29	Let no filthy communicacion proceade out of youre mouth, but that which is good to edifye withall, wha nede is, that it be gracious to heare.
4:30	And greue not the holy sprete of God, wherwith ye are sealed vnto ye daye of redempcion.
4:31	Let all bytternes, and fearsnes, and wrath, and roaringe, & cursed speakynge be farre fro you with all maliciousnes.
4:32	But be ye curteous one to another, mercifull, and forgeue one another, eue as God hath forgeuen you in Christ.
