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 one another 1438, even as 2531 2532 God 2316 for 1722 0 Christ's 5547 sake 1722 hath forgiven 5483 5662 you 5213.
