ASV_Strong : Ephesians 4
1. I[G1473] therefore[G3767], the prisoner[G1198] in[G1722] the Lord[G2962], beseech[G3870] you[G5209] to walk[G4043] worthily[G516] of the calling[G2821] wherewith[G3739] ye were called[G2564],
2. with[G3326] all[G3956] lowliness[G5012] and[G2532] meekness[G4236], with[G3326] longsuffering[G3115], forbearing[G430] one another[G240] in[G1722] love[G26];
3. giving diligence[G4704] to keep[G5083] the unity[G1775] of the Spirit[G4151] in[G1722] the bond[G4886] of peace[G1515].
4. There is one[G1520] body[G4983], and[G2532] one[G1520] Spirit[G4151], even[G2532] as[G2531] also ye were called[G2564] in[G1722] one[G1520] hope[G1680] of your[G5216] calling[G2821];
5. one[G1520] Lord[G2962], one[G1520] faith[G4102], one[G1520] baptism[G908],
6. one[G1520] God[G2316] and[G2532] Father[G3962] of all[G3956], who[G3588] is over[G1909] all[G3956], and[G2532] through[G1223] all[G3956], and[G2532] in[G1722, 5213] all[G3956].
7. But[G1161] unto each[G1538] one[G1520] of us[G2257] was the grace[G5485] given[G1325] according to[G2596] the measure[G3358] of the gift[G1431] of Christ[G5547].
8. Wherefore[G1352] he saith[G3004], When he ascended[G305] on[G1519] high[G5311], he led[G162] captivity[G161] captive[G162], And[G2532] gave[G1325] gifts[G1390] unto men[G444].
9. (Now[G1161] this[G3588], He[G2597] ascended[G305], what[G5101] is it[G2076, 1487] but[G3361] that[G3754] he[G2597] also[G2532] descended[G2597] into[G1519] the lower[G2737] parts[G3313] of the earth[G1093]?
10. He that[G3588] descended[G2597] is[G2076] the same[G846] also[G2532] that[G3588] ascended[G305] far above[G5231] all[G3956] the heavens[G3772], that[G2443] he might fill[G4137] all things[G3956].)
11. And[G2532] he[G846] gave[G1325] some[G3303] to be apostles[G652]; and[G1161] some[G3588], prophets[G4396]; and[G1161] some[G3588], evangelists[G2099]; and[G1161] some[G3588], pastors[G4166] and[G2532] teachers[G1320];
12. for[G4314] the perfecting[G2677] of the saints[G40], unto[G1519] the work[G2041] of ministering[G1248], unto[G1519] the building[G3619] up of the body[G4983] of Christ[G5547]:
13. till[G3360] we[G2658] all[G3956] attain[G2658] unto[G1519] the unity[G1775] of the faith[G4102], and[G2532] of the knowledge[G1922] of the Son[G5207] of God[G2316], unto[G1519] a fullgrown[G5046] man[G435], unto[G1519] the measure[G3358] of the stature[G2244] of the fulness[G4138] of Christ[G5547]:
14. that[G2443] we[G5600] may be[G5600] no longer[G3371] children[G3516], tossed to and fro[G2831] and[G2532] carried about[G4064] with every[G3956] wind[G417] of doctrine[G1319], by[G1722] the sleight[G2940] of men[G444], in[G1722] craftiness[G3834], [G3588] after[G4314] the wiles[G3180] of error[G4106];
15. but[G1161] speaking truth[G226] in[G1722] love[G26], we may grow up[G837] in all things[G3956] into[G1519] him[G846], who[G3739] is[G2076] the head[G2776], even Christ[G5547];
16. from[G1537] whom[G3739] all[G3956] the body[G4983] fitly framed and[G2532] knit[G4822] together[G4883] through[G1223] that which[G3588] every[G3956] joint[G860] supplieth[G2024], according to[G2596] the working[G1753] in[G1722] due measure[G3358] of each[G1520] several[G1538] part[G3313], maketh[G4160] the increase[G838] of the body[G4983] unto[G1519] the building[G3619] up of itself[G1438] in[G1722] love[G26].
17. This[G5124] I say[G3004] therefore[G3767], and[G2532] testify[G3143] in[G1722] the Lord[G2962], that ye[G5209] no[G3371] longer[G2532] walk[G4043] as[G2531] the[G3062] Gentiles[G1484] also walk[G4043], in[G1722] the vanity[G3153] of their[G846] mind[G3563],
18. being[G5607] darkened[G4654] in their understanding[G1271], alienated[G526] from the life[G2222] of God[G2316], because[G1223] of the ignorance[G52] that is[G5607] in[G1722] them[G846], because[G1223] of the hardening[G4457] of their[G846] heart[G2588];
19. who[G3748] being past feeling[G524] gave[G3860] themselves[G1438] up[G3860] to lasciviousness[G766], to[G1519] work[G2039] all[G3956] uncleanness[G167] with[G1722] greediness[G4124].
20. But[G1161] ye[G5210] did[G3129] not[G3756] so[G3779] learn[G3129] Christ[G5547];
21. if so be that[G1489] ye heard[G191] him[G846], and[G2532] were taught[G1321] in[G1722] him[G846], even as[G2531] truth[G225] is[G2076] in[G1722] Jesus[G2424]:
22. that ye[G5209] put away[G659], as concerning[G2596] your former[G4387] manner of life[G391], the old[G3820] man[G444], that[G3588] waxeth corrupt[G5351] after[G2596] the lusts[G1939] of deceit[G539];
23. and[G1161] that ye be renewed[G365] in the spirit[G4151] of your[G5216] mind[G3563],
24. and[G2532] put on[G1746] the new[G2537] man[G444], that[G3588] after[G2596] God[G2316] hath been created[G2936] in[G1722] righteousness[G1343] and[G2532] holiness[G3742] of truth[G225].
25. Wherefore[G1352], putting away[G659] falsehood[G5579], speak[G2980] ye truth[G225] each one[G1538] with[G3326] his[G846] neighbor[G4139]: for[G3754] we are[G2070] members[G3196] one of another[G240].
26. Be ye angry[G3710], and[G2532] sin[G264] not[G3361]: let[G1931] not[G3361] the sun[G2246] go down[G1931] upon[G1909] your[G5216] wrath[G3950]:
27. neither[G3383] give[G1325] place[G5117] to the devil[G1228].
28. Let him[G2813] that[G3588] stole[G2813] steal[G2813] no more[G3371]: but[G1161] rather[G3123] let him[G2872] labor[G2872], working[G2038] with[G5495] his hands[G5495] the thing that is[G3588] good[G18], that[G2443] he may have[G2192] whereof to give[G3330] to him that[G3588] hath[G2192] need[G5532].
29. Let[G1607, 3956] no[G3361] corrupt[G4550] speech[G3056] proceed[G1607] out of[G1537] your[G5216] mouth[G4750], but[G235] such[G1487] as is[G5100] good[G18] for[G4314] edifying[G3619] as the need[G5532] may be[G2443], that it may give[G1325] grace[G5485] to them that hear[G191].
30. And[G2532] grieve[G3076] not[G3361] the Holy[G40] Spirit[G4151] of God[G1722], in whom[G3739] ye were sealed[G4972] unto[G1519] the day[G2250] of redemption[G629].
31. Let[G142] all[G3956] bitterness[G4088], and[G2532] wrath[G2372], and[G2532] anger[G3709], and[G2532] clamor[G2906], and[G2532] railing[G988], be put away[G142] from[G575] you[G5216], with[G4862] all[G3956] malice[G2549]:
32. and[G1161] be ye[G1096] kind[G5543] one[G240] to[G1519] another[G240], tenderhearted[G2155], forgiving[G5483] each other[G1438], even[G2532] as[G2531] God[G2316] also in[G1722] Christ[G5547] forgave[G5483] you[G5213].
