Ephesians - Chapter: 4


4:1	Call upon you, then, do I -- the prisoner of the Lord -- to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,
4:2	with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,
4:3	being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace;
4:4	one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were 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' over all, and through all, and in you all,
4:7	and to each one of you was given the grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ,
4:8	wherefore, he saith, `Having gone up on high he led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men,' --
4:9	and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth?
4:10	he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things --
4:11	and He gave some `as' apostles, and some `as' prophets, and some `as' proclaimers of good news, and some `as' shepherds and teachers,
4:12	unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,
4:13	till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,
4:14	that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,
4:15	and, being true in love, we may increase to Him `in' all things, who is the head -- the Christ;
4:16	from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.
4:17	This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,
4:18	being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,
4:19	who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;
4:20	and ye did not so learn the Christ,
4:21	if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus;
4:22	ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,
4:23	and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
4:24	and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
4:25	Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;
4:26	be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,
4:27	neither give place to the devil;
4:28	whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.
4:29	Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;
4:30	and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a 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 become one to another kind, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, according as also God in Christ did forgive you.


4:1	I therfore which am in bondes for the lordes sake exhorte you that ye walke worthy of the vocacion wherwith ye are called
4:2	in all humblenes of mynde and meknes and longe sufferynge forbearinge one another thorowe love
4:3	and that ye be dyliget to kepe ye vnitie of ye sprete in the bonde of peace
4:4	beynge one body and one sprete eve as ye are called in one hope of youre callynge.
4:5	Let ther be but one lorde one fayth one baptim:
4:6	one god and father of all which is above all thorow all and in you all.
4:7	Vnto every one of vs is geven grace acordinge to the measure of ye gyft of christ.
4:8	Wherfore he sayth: He is gone vp an hye and hath ledde captivitie captive and hath geven gyftes vnto men.
4:9	That he ascended: what meaneth it but that he also descended fyrst into the lowest parties of the erth?
4:10	He that descended is even the same also that ascended vp even above all hevens to fulfill all thinges.
4:11	And the very same made some Apostles some prophetes some Evangelistes some Sheperdes some Teachers:
4:12	yt the sainctes might have all thinges necessarie to worke and minister with all to the edifyinge of the body of christ
4:13	tyll we every one (in the vnitie of fayth and knowledge of the sonne of god) growe vp vnto a parfayte man after ye measure of age of the fulnes of Christ.
4:14	That we hence forth be no moare chyldren wauerynge and caryed with every wynde of doctryne by the wylynes of men and craftynes wherby they laye a wayte for vs to deceave vs.
4:15	But let vs folowe the trueth in loue and in all thynges growe in him which is the heed that ys to saye Christ
4:16	in whom all the body ys coupled and knet togedder in every ioynt wherwith one ministreth to another (accordinge to the operacion as every parte hath his measure) and increaseth the body vnto the edyfyinge of it silfe in love.
4:17	This I saye therfore and testifie in ye lorde that ye hence forth walke not as other gentyls walke in vanitie of their mynde
4:18	blynded in their vnderstondynge beynge straungers from the lyfe which is in god thorow the ignorancy that is in them because of the blyndnes of their hertes:
4:19	which beynge past repentaunce have geven them selves vnto wantannes to worke all manner of vnclennes even with gredynes.
4:20	But ye have not so learned Christ
4:21	if so be ye have hearde of him and are taught in him even as the trueth is in Iesu.
4:22	So then as concernynge the coversacion in tyme past laye from you that olde ma which is corrupte thorow the deceavable lustes
4:23	and be ye renued in the sprete of youre myndes
4:24	and put on that newe man which after the ymage of God is shapen in ryghtewesnes and true holynes.
4:25	Wherfore put awaye lyinge and speake every man truth vnto his neghbour for as moche as we are members one of another.
4:26	Be angrye but synne not let not the sonne go doune apon your wrathe
4:27	nether geue place vnto ye backbyter.
4:28	Let him yt stole steale no moare but let him rather laboure with his hondes some good thinge that he maye have to geve vnto him that nedeth.
4:29	Let no filthy comunicacion procede out of youre mouthes: but yt whych is good to edefye with all when nede ys: that it maye have faveour with the hearers.
4:30	And greve not the holy sprete of God by whome ye are sealed vnto the daye of redempcion.
4:31	Let all bitternes fearsnes and wrath rorynge and cursyd speakynge be put awaye from you with all maliciousnes.
4:32	Be ye courteouse one to another and mercifull forgevynge one another eve as god for Christes sake forgave you.


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.
