Ephesians 4
4:1I appeal then to you, I the prisoner in the Lord, to walk worthily of the calling of which you were called,
4:2with all humility and gentleness, with leniency, enduring one another in love;
4:3hurrying to keep the unity of the spirit in the bonding together of peace.
4:4One body, and one spirit, as also you were called in one hope of your calling.
4:5One Lord, one belief, one immersion;
4:6one God and father of all, the one over all, and through all, and in you all.
4:7And in each one of us was given the favor according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.
4:8Therefore he says, Having ascended into the height he captured the captivity, and he gave gifts to men.
4:9And the one that ascended, what is it unless that also he came down first unto the lower parts of the earth?
4:10The one having come down, he is also the one having ascended up above all the heavens, that he should fulfill all things.
4:11And he gave some indeed for apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists; but some shepherds and teachers,
4:12for the readying of the holy ones for a work of service, for edification of the body of the Christ;
4:13until we should all arrive in the unity of the belief, and of the full knowledge of the son of God, in a perfect man, in the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ;
4:14that no longer should we be infants, being swelled and carried round about by every wind of the instruction, in the cunning of men, in cleverness to the craft of the delusion.
4:15But being truthful in love, we should grow in him in all things, which is the head -- the Christ;
4:16from whom all the body being fitted together, and being instructed by every ligament of supply, according to energy in measure of each one part, the growth of the body to produce for itself to the construction of itself in love.
4:17This then I say and testify in the Lord, for you to no longer walk as also the rest of the nations walk, in the folly of their mind,
4:18being darkened in the mind, being separated from the life of God, through the ignorance being in them, through the callousness of their heart;
4:19ones who being numbed, delivered themselves up to lewdness, for a work of all uncleanness in a desire for wealth.
4:20But you learned not thus the Christ,
4:21if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus;
4:22for you to put aside according to the former behavior, the old man, the one being corrupt according to the desires of the deception;
4:23and to be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
4:24and to put on the new man, the one according to God being created in righteousness and sacredness of the truth.
4:25Therefore having put aside the lie, let each speak truth with his neighbor! for we are members of one another.
4:26Be angry and do not sin! Do not let the sun set upon the provocation to your anger!
4:27nor give place to the devil!
4:28The one stealing no longer let him steal! but rather let him tire working what is good with the hands! that he should have something to share with the one having need.
4:29Every rotten word from out of your mouth, let it not go forth! but if any good word for edification for the need, let it go forth so that it should give favor to the ones hearing.
4:30And do not fret the holy spirit of God, in which you were sealed for the day of release by ransom!
4:31All bitterness, and rage, and anger, and roaring, and blasphemy take away from you with all evil!
4:32And be to one another gracious, compassionate, granting to each other, as also God granted to us in Christ!
