1I1473 therefore3767, the prisoner1198 of1722 the Lord2962, beseech3870 you5209 that ye walk4043 worthy516 of the vocation2821 wherewith3739 ye are called2564, of the Lord: or, in the Lord

2With3326 all3956 lowliness5012 and2532 meekness4236, with3326 longsuffering3115, forbearing430 one another240 in1722 love26;

3Endeavouring4704 to keep5083 the unity1775 of the Spirit4151 in1722 the bond4886 of peace1515.

4There is one1520 body4983, and2532 one1520 Spirit4151, even as2531 2532 ye are called2564 in1722 one3391 hope1680 of your5216 calling2821;

5One1520 Lord2962, one1520 faith4102, one3391 baptism908,

6One1520 God2316 and2532 Father3962 of all3956, who3588 is above1909 all3956, and2532 through1223 all3956, and2532 in1722 you5213 all3956.

7But1161 unto every1538 one1520 of us2257 is given1325 grace5485 according to2596 the measure3358 of the gift1431 of Christ5547.

8Wherefore1352 he saith3004, When he ascended305 up1519 on high5311, he led captivity162 captive161, and2532 gave1325 gifts1390 unto men444. captivity: or, a multitude of captives

9(Now1161 that he ascended305, what5101 is it2076 but1508 that3754 he2597 also2532 descended2597 first4412 into1519 the lower2737 parts3313 of the earth1093?

10He846 that descended2597 is2076 the same also2532 that ascended up305 far above5231 all3956 heavens3772, that2443 he might fill4137 all things3956.) fill: or, fulfil

11And2532 he846 gave1325 some3303, apostles652; and1161 some, prophets4396; and1161 some, evangelists2099; and1161 some, pastors4166 and2532 teachers1320;

12For4314 the perfecting2677 of the saints40, for1519 the work2041 of the ministry1248, for1519 the edifying3619 of the body4983 of Christ5547:

13Till3360 we all3956 come2658 in1519 the unity1775 of the faith4102, and2532 of the knowledge1922 of the Son5207 of God2316, unto1519 a perfect5046 man435, unto1519 the measure3358 of the stature2244 of the fulness4138 of Christ5547: in: or, into stature: or, age

14That2443 we henceforth be5600 no more3371 children3516, tossed to and fro2831, and2532 carried about with4064 every3956 wind417 of doctrine1319, by1722 the sleight2940 of men444, and cunning craftiness1722 3834, whereby4314 they lie in wait3180 to deceive4106;

15But1161 speaking the truth226 in1722 love26, may grow up837 into1519 him846 in all things3956, which3739 is2076 the head2776, even Christ5547: speaking: or, being sincere

16From1537 whom3739 the whole3956 body4983 fitly joined together4883 and2532 compacted4822 by1223 that which every3956 joint860 supplieth2024, according2596 to the effectual working1753 in1722 the measure3358 of every1538 part1520 3313, maketh4160 increase838 of the body4983 unto1519 the edifying3619 of itself1438 in1722 love26.

17This5124 I say3004 therefore3767, and2532 testify3143 in1722 the Lord2962, that ye5209 henceforth3371 walk4043 not3371 as2531 2532 other3062 Gentiles1484 walk4043, in1722 the vanity3153 of their846 mind3563,

18Having the understanding1271 darkened4654, being5607 alienated526 from the life2222 of God2316 through1223 the ignorance52 that is5607 in1722 them846, because1223 of the blindness4457 of their846 heart2588: blindness: or, hardness

19Who3748 being past feeling524 have given3860 themselves1438 over3860 unto lasciviousness766, to1519 work2039 all3956 uncleanness167 with1722 greediness4124.

20But1161 ye5210 have3129 not3756 so3779 learned3129 Christ5547;

21If so be that1489 ye have heard191 him846, and2532 have been taught1321 by1722 him846, as2531 the truth225 is2076 in1722 Jesus2424:

22That ye5209 put off659 concerning2596 the former4387 conversation391 the old3820 man444, which3588 is corrupt5351 according2596 to the deceitful539 lusts1939;

23And1161 be renewed365 in the spirit4151 of your5216 mind3563;

24And2532 that ye put on1746 the new2537 man444, which3588 after2596 God2316 is created2936 in1722 righteousness1343 and2532 true225 holiness3742. true: or, holiness of truth

25Wherefore1352 putting away659 lying5579, speak2980 every man1538 truth225 with3326 his846 neighbour4139: for3754 we are2070 members3196 one of another240.

26Be ye angry3710, and2532 sin264 not3361: let1931 not3361 the sun2246 go down1931 upon1909 your5216 wrath3950:

27Neither3383 give1325 place5117 to the devil1228.

28Let2813 him that stole2813 steal2813 no more3371: but1161 rather3123 let him labour2872, working2038 with his hands5495 the thing which is good18, that2443 he may have2192 to give3330 to him that needeth5532 2192. to give: or, to distribute

29Let4550 no3361 3956 corrupt4550 communication3056 proceed1607 out of1537 your5216 mouth4750, but235 that which1536 is good18 to4314 the use5532 of edifying3619, that2443 it may minister1325 grace5485 unto the hearers191. to: or, to edify profitably

30And2532 grieve3076 not3361 the holy40 Spirit4151 of God2316, whereby1722 3739 ye are sealed4972 unto1519 the day2250 of redemption629.

31Let142 all3956 bitterness4088, and2532 wrath2372, and2532 anger3709, and2532 clamour2906, and2532 evil speaking988, be put away142 from575 you5216, with4862 all3956 malice2549:

32And1161 be1096 ye kind5543 one to another1519 240, tenderhearted2155, forgiving5483 one another1438, even as2531 2532 God2316 for1722 Christ's5547 sake1722 hath forgiven5483 you5213.
