1Call upon you, then, do I--the prisoner of the Lord--to walk worthily of the calling with which ye were called,
1I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called:
2with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, forbearing one another in love,
2With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
3being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of the peace;
3Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4one body and one Spirit, according as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
4One body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your calling.
6one God and Father of all, who <FI>is<Fi> over all, and through all, and in you all,
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
7and to each one of you was given the grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ,
7But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
8wherefore, he saith, `Having gone up on high he led captive captivity, and gave gifts to men,' --
8Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive: he gave gifts to men.
9and that, he went up, what is it except that he also went down first to the lower parts of the earth?
9Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10he who went down is the same also who went up far above all the heavens, that He may fill all things--
10He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens: that he might fill all things.
11and He gave some <FI>as<Fi> apostles, and some <FI>as<Fi> prophets, and some <FI>as<Fi> proclaimers of good news, and some <FI>as<Fi> shepherds and teachers,
11And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors:
12unto the perfecting of the saints, for a work of ministration, for a building up of the body of the Christ,
12For the perfecting of the saints, for the word of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13till we may all come to the unity of the faith and of the recognition of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of stature of the fulness of the Christ,
13Until we all meet into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ:
14that we may no more be babes, tossed and borne about by every wind of the teaching, in the sleight of men, in craftiness, unto the artifice of leading astray,
14That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive.
15and, being true in love, we may increase to Him <FI>in<Fi> all things, who is the head--the Christ;
15But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
16from whom the whole body, being fitly joined together and united, through the supply of every joint, according to the working in the measure of each single part, the increase of the body doth make for the building up of itself in love.
16From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
17This, then, I say, and I testify in the Lord; ye are no more to walk, as also the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,
17This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind:
18being darkened in the understanding, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart,
18Having their understanding darkened: being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.
19who, having ceased to feel, themselves did give up to the lasciviousness, for the working of all uncleanness in greediness;
19Who despairing have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
21if so be ye did hear him, and in him were taught, as truth is in Jesus;
21If so be that you have heard him and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22ye are to put off concerning the former behaviour the old man, that is corrupt according to the desires of the deceit,
22To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
24and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.
24And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
25Wherefore, putting away the lying, speak truth each with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;
25Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another.
26be angry and do not sin; let not the sun go down upon your wrath,
26Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
28whoso is stealing let him no more steal, but rather let him labour, working the thing that is good with the hands, that he may have to impart to him having need.
28He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
29Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;
29Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth: but that which is good, to the edification of faith: that it may administer grace to the hearers.
30and make not sorrowful the Holy Spirit of God, in which ye were sealed to a day of redemption.
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
