4:1 | I <1473> therefore <3767>, the prisoner <1198> of <1722> the Lord <2962>, beseech <3870> (5719) you <5209> that ye walk <4043> (5658) worthy <516> of the vocation <2821> wherewith <3739> ye are called <2564> (5681), {of the Lord: or, in the Lord} |
4:2 | With <3326> all <3956> lowliness <5012> and <2532> meekness <4236>, with <3326> longsuffering <3115>, forbearing <430> (5740) one another <240> in <1722> love <26>; |
4:3 | Endeavouring <4704> (5723) to keep <5083> (5721) the unity <1775> of the Spirit <4151> in <1722> the bond <4886> of peace <1515>. |
4:4 | [There is] one <1520> body <4983>, and <2532> one <1520> Spirit <4151>, even as <2531> <2532> ye are called <2564> (5681) in <1722> one <3391> hope <1680> of your <5216> calling <2821>; |
4:5 | One <1520> Lord <2962>, one <1520> faith <4102>, one <3391> baptism <908>, |
4:6 | One <1520> God <2316> and <2532> Father <3962> of all <3956>, who <3588> [is] above <1909> all <3956>, and <2532> through <1223> all <3956>, and <2532> in <1722> you <5213> all <3956>. |
4:7 | But <1161> unto every <1538> one <1520> of us <2257> is given <1325> (5681) grace <5485> according to <2596> the measure <3358> of the gift <1431> of Christ <5547>. |
4:8 | Wherefore <1352> he saith <3004> (5719), When he ascended <305> (5631) up <1519> on high <5311>, he led captivity <162> (5656) captive <161>, and <2532> gave <1325> (5656) gifts <1390> unto men <444>. {captivity...: or, a multitude of captives} |
4:9 | (Now <1161> that he ascended <305> (5627), what <5101> is it <2076> (5748) but <1508> that <3754> he <2597> (0) also <2532> descended <2597> (5627) first <4412> into <1519> the lower <2737> parts <3313> of the earth <1093>? |
4:10 | He <846> that descended <2597> (5631) is <2076> (5748) the same also <2532> that ascended up <305> (5631) far above <5231> all <3956> heavens <3772>, that <2443> he might fill <4137> (5661) all things <3956>.) {fill: or, fulfil} |
4:11 | And <2532> he <846> gave <1325> (5656) some <3303>, apostles <652>; and <1161> some, prophets <4396>; and <1161> some, evangelists <2099>; and <1161> some, pastors <4166> and <2532> teachers <1320>; |
4:12 | For <4314> the perfecting <2677> of the saints <40>, for <1519> the work <2041> of the ministry <1248>, for <1519> the edifying <3619> of the body <4983> of Christ <5547>: |
4:13 | Till <3360> we all <3956> come <2658> (5661) in <1519> the unity <1775> of the faith <4102>, and <2532> of the knowledge <1922> of the Son <5207> of God <2316>, unto <1519> a perfect <5046> man <435>, unto <1519> the measure <3358> of the stature <2244> of the fulness <4138> of Christ <5547>: {in: or, into} {stature: or, age} |
4:14 | That <2443> we [henceforth] be <5600> (5753) no more <3371> children <3516>, tossed to and fro <2831> (5740), and <2532> carried about with <4064> (5746) every <3956> wind <417> of doctrine <1319>, by <1722> the sleight <2940> of men <444>, [and] cunning craftiness <1722> <3834>, whereby <4314> they lie in wait <3180> to deceive <4106>; |
4:15 | But <1161> speaking the truth <226> (5723) in <1722> love <26>, may grow up <837> (5661) into <1519> him <846> in all things <3956>, which <3739> is <2076> (5748) the head <2776>, [even] Christ <5547>: {speaking...: or, being sincere} |
4:16 | From <1537> whom <3739> the whole <3956> body <4983> fitly joined together <4883> (5746) and <2532> compacted <4822> (5746) by <1223> that which every <3956> joint <860> supplieth <2024>, according <2596> to the effectual working <1753> in <1722> the measure <3358> of every <1538> part <1520> <3313>, maketh <4160> (5731) increase <838> of the body <4983> unto <1519> the edifying <3619> of itself <1438> in <1722> love <26>. |
4:17 | This <5124> I say <3004> (5719) therefore <3767>, and <2532> testify <3143> (5736) in <1722> the Lord <2962>, that ye <5209> henceforth <3371> (0) walk <4043> (5721) not <3371> as <2531> <2532> other <3062> Gentiles <1484> walk <4043> (5719), in <1722> the vanity <3153> of their <846> mind <3563>, |
4:18 | Having the understanding <1271> darkened <4654> (5772), being <5607> (5752) alienated <526> (5772) from the life <2222> of God <2316> through <1223> the ignorance <52> that is <5607> (5752) in <1722> them <846>, because <1223> of the blindness <4457> of their <846> heart <2588>: {blindness: or, hardness} |
4:19 | Who <3748> being past feeling <524> (5761) have given <3860> (0) themselves <1438> over <3860> (5656) unto lasciviousness <766>, to <1519> work <2039> all <3956> uncleanness <167> with <1722> greediness <4124>. |
4:20 | But <1161> ye <5210> have <3129> (0) not <3756> so <3779> learned <3129> (5627) Christ <5547>; |
4:21 | If so be that <1489> ye have heard <191> (5656) him <846>, and <2532> have been taught <1321> (5681) by <1722> him <846>, as <2531> the truth <225> is <2076> (5748) in <1722> Jesus <2424>: |
4:22 | That ye <5209> put off <659> (5641) concerning <2596> the former <4387> conversation <391> the old <3820> man <444>, which <3588> is corrupt <5351> (5746) according <2596> to the deceitful <539> lusts <1939>; |
4:23 | And <1161> be renewed <365> (5745) in the spirit <4151> of your <5216> mind <3563>; |
4:24 | And <2532> that ye put on <1746> (5670) the new <2537> man <444>, which <3588> after <2596> God <2316> is created <2936> (5685) in <1722> righteousness <1343> and <2532> true <225> holiness <3742>. {true...: or, holiness of truth} |
4:25 | Wherefore <1352> putting away <659> (5642) lying <5579>, speak <2980> (5720) every man <1538> truth <225> with <3326> his <846> neighbour <4139>: for <3754> we are <2070> (5748) members <3196> one of another <240>. |
4:26 | Be ye angry <3710> (5744), and <2532> sin <264> (5720) not <3361>: let <1931> (0) not <3361> the sun <2246> go down <1931> (5720) upon <1909> your <5216> wrath <3950>: |
4:27 | Neither <3383> give <1325> (5720) place <5117> to the devil <1228>. |
4:28 | Let <2813> (0) him that stole <2813> (5723) steal <2813> (5720) no more <3371>: but <1161> rather <3123> let him labour <2872> (5720), working <2038> (5740) with [his] hands <5495> the thing which is good <18>, that <2443> he may have <2192> (5725) to give <3330> (5721) to him that needeth <5532> <2192> (5723). {to give: or, to distribute} |
4:29 | Let <4550> (0) no <3361> <3956> corrupt <4550> communication <3056> proceed <1607> (5737) out of <1537> your <5216> mouth <4750>, but <235> that which <1536> is good <18> to <4314> the use <5532> of edifying <3619>, that <2443> it may minister <1325> (5632) grace <5485> unto the hearers <191> (5723). {to...: or, to edify profitably} |
4:30 | And <2532> grieve <3076> (5720) not <3361> the holy <40> Spirit <4151> of God <2316>, whereby <1722> <3739> ye are sealed <4972> (5681) unto <1519> the day <2250> of redemption <629>. |
4:31 | Let <142> (0) all <3956> bitterness <4088>, and <2532> wrath <2372>, and <2532> anger <3709>, and <2532> clamour <2906>, and <2532> evil speaking <988>, be put away <142> (5682) from <575> you <5216>, with <4862> all <3956> malice <2549>: |
4:32 | And <1161> be <1096> (5737) ye kind <5543> one to another <1519> <240>, tenderhearted <2155>, forgiving <5483> (5740) (5746) one another <1438>, even as <2531> <2532> God <2316> for <1722> (0) Christ's <5547> sake <1722> hath forgiven <5483> (5662) you <5213>. |
