EPH-4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that
ye walk worthy
of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
EPH-4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering,
forbearing one
another in love;
EPH-4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the
bond of peace.
EPH-4:4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope
of your calling;
EPH-4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
EPH-4:6 One God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and
through all, and in
you all.
EPH-4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to
the measure of
the gift of Christ.
EPH-4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led
captivity
captive, and gave gifts unto men.
EPH-4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also
descended first
into the lower parts of the earth?
EPH-4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up
far above all
heavens, that he might fill all things.)
EPH-4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and
some,
evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
EPH-4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for
the edifying of the body of Christ:
EPH-4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the
knowledge of
the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the
stature of the
fulness of Christ:
EPH-4:14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to
and fro, and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men,
[and] cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
EPH-4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him
in all things,
which is the head, [even] Christ:
EPH-4:16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and
compacted by that
which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working
in the measure
of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of
itself in love.
EPH-4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye
henceforth
walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
EPH-4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated
from the life of
God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the
blindness of their
heart:
EPH-4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto
lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
EPH-4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
EPH-4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught
by him, as the
truth is in Jesus:
EPH-4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the
old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
EPH-4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
EPH-4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is
created in
righteousness and true holiness.
EPH-4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth
with his
neighbour: for we are members one of another.
EPH-4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon
your wrath:
EPH-4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
EPH-4:28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him
labour, working
with [his] hands the thing which is good, that he may have to
give to him that
needeth.
EPH-4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
but that
which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace
unto the
hearers.
EPH-4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are
sealed unto the
day of redemption.
EPH-4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour,
and evil
speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
EPH-4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted,
forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
