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 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, urge you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,
4:2	with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
4:3	endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4:4	There is one body and one Spirit, just as you 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 to each one of us grace is given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
4:8	Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."
4:9	(Now this, "He ascended," what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
4:10	He who descended is also the same who ascended up far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
4:11	And He gave some to be apostles, some prophets, 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	until we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
4:14	that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, and cunning craftiness, in which they make plans to deceive,
4:15	but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head, who is Christ,
4:16	from whom the entire body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
4:17	This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
4:18	having their 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 to filthiness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
4:20	But you have not so learned Christ,
4:21	if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:
4:22	that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which is corrupted according to the deceitful lusts,
4:23	and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
4:24	and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in righteousness and true holiness.
4:25	Therefore, putting away lying, "every one speak truth with his neighbor," because we are members of one another.
4:26	"Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath,
4:27	nor give place to the devil.
4:28	Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands that which is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.
4:29	Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may minister grace to the hearers.
4:30	And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
4:31	Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
4:32	And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God forgave you because of Christ.
