1
Therefore
I, the prisoner
of the Lord,
implore
you to walk
in a manner worthy
of the calling
with which
you have been called,
2
with all
humility
and gentleness,
with patience,
showing tolerance
for one another
in love,
3
being diligent
to preserve
the unity
of the Spirit
in the bond
of peace.
4
There is one
body
and one
Spirit,
just
as also
you were called
in one
hope
of your calling;
5
one
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism,
6
one
God
and Father
of
all
who
is over
all
and through
all
and in
all
.
7
But to each
one
of us grace
was given
according
to the measure
of Christ's
gift.
8
Therefore
it says,
"WHEN HE ASCENDED
ON HIGH,
HE LED CAPTIVE
A HOST OF CAPTIVES,
AND HE GAVE
GIFTS
TO MEN."
9
(Now
this
expression, "He ascended,"
what
does it mean
except
that He also
had descended
into the lower
parts
of the earth?
10
He who descended
is Himself
al
so
He who ascended
far above
all
the heavens,
so
that He might fill
all
things.)
11
And He gave
some
as apostles,
and
some
as prophets,
and
some
as evangelists,
and
some
as pastors
and teachers,
12
for the equipping
of the saints
for the work
of service,
to the building
up of the body
of Christ;
13
until
we all
attain
to the unity
of the faith,
and of the knowledge
of the Son
of God,
to a mature
man,
to the measure
of the stature
which belongs to the fullness
of Christ.
14
As a result,
we are no longer
to be children,
tossed here and there by waves
and carried about
by every
wind
of doctrine,
by the trickery
of men,
by craftiness
in deceitful
scheming;
15
but speaking the truth
in love,
we are to grow
up in all
aspects into Him who
is the head,
even Christ,
16
from whom
the whole
body,
being fitted
and held together
by what
every
joint
supplies,
according
to the proper
working
of each
individual
part,
causes
the growth
of the body
for the building
up of itself
in love.
17
So
this
I say,
and affirm
together
with the Lord,
that you walk
no longer
just
as the Gentiles
also
walk,
in the futility
of their mind,
18
being
darkened
in their understanding,
excluded
from the life
of God
because
of the ignorance
that is in them,
because
of the hardness
of their heart;
19
and they, having become callous,
have given
themselves
over
to sensuality
for the practice
of every kind
of impurity
with greediness.
20
But you did not learn
Christ
in this way,
21
if
indeed
you have heard
Him and have been taught
in Him, just
as truth
is in Jesus,
22
that, in reference
to your former
manner of life,
you lay aside
the old
self,
which is being corrupted
in accordance
with the lusts
of deceit,
23
and that you be renewed
in the spirit
of your mind,
24
and put
on the new
self,
which in the likeness of God
has been created
in righteousness
and holiness
of the truth.
25
Therefore,
laying aside
falsehood,
SPEAK
TRUTH
EACH ONE
of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR,
for we are members
of one another.
26
BE ANGRY,
AND yet DO NOT SIN;
do not let the sun
go down
on your anger,
27
and do not give
the devil
an opportunity.
28
He who steals
must steal
no longer;
but rather
he must labor,
performing
with his own
hands
what is good,
so
that he will have
something to share
with one
who has
need.
29
Let no
unwholesome
word
proceed
from your mouth,
but only
such
a
word
as is good
for edification
according to the need
of the moment, so
that it will give
grace
to those
who hear.
30
Do not grieve
the Holy
Spirit
of God,
by whom
you were sealed
for the day
of redemption.
31
Let all
bitterness
and wrath
and anger
and clamor
and slander
be put away
from you, along
with all
malice.
32
Be kind
to one another,
tender-hearted,
forgiving
each other,
just
as God
in Christ
also
has forgiven
you.
