1: ExhortG3870 thereforeG3767 youG4771 I,G1473 theG3588 prisonerG1198 inG1722 [the] Lord,G2962 worthilyG0516 to walkG4043 of theG3588 callingG2821 to whichG3739 you were called,G2564

2: withG3326 allG3956 humilityG5012 andG2532 gentleness,G4240 withG3326 patience,G3115 bearing withG0430 one anotherG0240 inG1722 love,G0026

3: being diligentG4704 to keepG5083 theG3588 unityG1775 of theG3588 SpiritG4151 inG1722 theG3588 bondG4886 -G3588 of peace;G1515

4: oneG1520 bodyG4983 andG2532 oneG1520 Spirit,G4151 just asG2531 alsoG2532 you were calledG2564 intoG1722 oneG1520 hopeG1680 of theG3588 callingG2821 of you;G4771

5: oneG1520 Lord,G2962 oneG1520 faith,G4102 oneG1520 baptism;G0908

6: oneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of all,G3956 who [is]G3588 overG1909 allG3956 andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956 andG2532 inG1722 all.G3956

7: OneG1520 nowG1161 to eachG1538 of usG1473 has been givenG1325 -G3588 graceG5485 according toG2596 theG3588 measureG3358 of theG3588 giftG1431 -G3588 of Christ.G5547

8: ThereforeG1352 it says:G3004 Having ascendedG0305 onG1519 high,G5311 He led captiveG0162 captivity,G0161 andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 -G3588 to men.G0444

9: -G3588 And,G1161 He ascended,G0305 whatG5101 isG1510 ifG1487 notG3361 thatG3754 alsoG2532 He descendedG2597 intoG1519 theG3588 lowerG2737 regionsG3313 of theG3588 earth?G1093

10: The [One]G3588 having descended,G2597 the sameG0846 isG1510 alsoG2532 [one]G3588 having ascendedG0305 aboveG5231 allG3956 theG3588 heavens,G3772 so thatG2443 He might fillG4137 -G3588 all things.G3956

11: AndG2532 HeG0846 gaveG1325 someG3588 indeedG3303 [to be] apostles,G0652 someG3588 nowG1161 prophets,G4396 someG3588 nowG1161 evangelists,G2099 someG3588 nowG1161 shepherdsG4166 andG2532 teachers,G1320

12: towardG4314 theG3588 perfectingG2677 of theG3588 saints,G0040 forG1519 [the] workG2041 of ministry,G1248 forG1519 [the] building upG3619 of theG3588 bodyG4983 -G3588 of Christ,G5547

13: untilG3360 we may attainG2658 -G3588 allG3956 toG1519 theG3588 unityG1775 of theG3588 faithG4102 andG2532 of theG3588 knowledgeG1922 of theG3588 SonG5207 -G3588 of God,G2316 untoG1519 a manG0435 a complete,G5046 toG1519 [the] measureG3358 of [the] statureG2244 of theG3588 fullnessG4138 -G3588 of Christ,G5547

14: so thatG2443 no longerG3371 we might beG1510 infants,G3516 being tossed by wavesG2831 andG2532 being carried aboutG4064 by everyG3956 windG0417 -G3588 of teaching,G1319 inG1722 theG3588 cunningG2940 -G3588 of menG0444 inG1722 craftiness,G3834 with a view toG4314 theG3588 schemingG3180 -G3588 of deceit.G4106

15: Speaking the truthG0226 howeverG1161 inG1722 love,G0026 we should grow upG0837 intoG1519 HimG0846 inG3588 all thingsG3956 whoG3739 isG1510 theG3588 head,G2776 Christ,G5547

16: fromG1537 whomG3739 allG3956 theG3588 body,G4983 being joined togetherG4883 andG2532 being held togetherG4822 byG1223 everyG3956 ligamentG0860 of [its]G3588 supply,G2024 according toG2596 [the] workingG1753 inG1722 [the] measureG3358 individualG1520 of eachG1538 part,G3313 theG3588 increaseG0838 of theG3588 bodyG4983 makes for itselfG4160 toG1519 [the] building upG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 love.G0026

17: ThisG3778 thereforeG3767 I sayG3004 andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 [the] Lord:G2962 No longerG3371 [are] youG4771 to walkG4043 asG2531 alsoG2532 theG3588 GentilesG1484 are walking,G4043 inG1722 [the] futilityG3153 of theG3588 mindG3563 of them,G0846

18: being darkenedG4656 in theG3588 understanding,G1271 beingG1510 alienated fromG0526 theG3588 lifeG2222 -G3588 of God,G2316 because ofG1223 theG3588 ignoranceG0052 -G3588 beingG1510 inG1722 them,G0846 on account ofG1223 theG3588 hardnessG4457 of theG3588 heartG2588 of them,G0846

19: whoG3748 having cast off all feeling,G0524 themselvesG1438 have given upG3860 toG3588 sensuality,G0766 forG1519 [the] workingG2039 of impurity,G0167 allG3956 withG1722 greediness.G4124

20: YouG4771 howeverG1161 notG3756 this wayG3779 learnedG3129 -G3588 Christ,G5547

21: ifG1487 indeedG1065 HimG0846 you have heardG0191 andG2532 inG1722 HimG0846 have been taught,G1321 just asG2531 isG1510 [the] truthG0225 inG1722 -G3588 Jesus.G2424

22: Are to have put offG0659 you,G4771 concerningG2596 theG3588 formerG4386 way of life,G0391 theG3588 oldG3820 man,G0444 whichG3588 is being corrupted,G5351 according toG2596 [its]G3588 desiresG1939 -G3588 of deceit,G0539

23: to be renewedG0365 thenG1161 in theG3588 spiritG4151 of theG3588 mindG3563 of you,G4771

24: andG2532 to have put onG1746 theG3588 newG2537 man,G0444 -G3588 according toG2596 GodG2316 having been createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 holinessG3742 -G3588 of truth.G0225

25: ThereforeG1352 having put offG0659 -G3588 falsehood,G5579 let speakG2980 truthG0225 each oneG1538 withG3326 theG3588 neighborG4139 of him,G0846 becauseG3754 we areG1510 of one anotherG0240 members.G3196

26: Be angry,G3710 and yetG2532 notG3361 sin.G0264 TheG3588 sunG2246 notG3361 let setG1931 uponG1909 -G3588 angerG3950 of you;G4771

27: neitherG3366 giveG1325 opportunityG5117 to theG3588 devil.G1228

28: The [one]G3588 stealing,G2813 no longerG3371 let him steal;G2813 ratherG3123 howeverG1161 let him toil,G2872 workingG2038 with theG3588 ownG2398 handsG5495 whatG3588 [is] good,G0018 so thatG2443 he may have [something]G2192 to impartG3330 to the [one]G3588 needG5532 having.G2192

29: AnyG3956 wordG3056 unwholesomeG4550 out ofG1537 theG3588 mouthG4750 of youG4771 notG3361 let go forth,G1607 butG0235 ifG1487 anyG5100 goodG0018 forG4314 edificationG3619 of theG3588 need,G5532 so thatG2443 it may giveG1325 graceG5485 to thoseG3588 hearing.G0191

30: AndG2532 notG3361 grieveG3076 theG3588 SpiritG4151 -G3588 HolyG0040 -G3588 of God,G2316 inG1722 whomG3739 you were sealedG4972 forG1519 [the] dayG2250 of redemption.G0629

31: AllG3956 bitterness,G4088 andG2532 rage,G2372 andG2532 anger,G3709 andG2532 clamor,G2906 andG2532 slander,G0988 let be removedG0142 fromG0575 you,G4771 along withG4862 allG3956 malice.G2549

32: BeG1096 nowG1161 toG1519 one anotherG0240 kind,G5543 tender-hearted,G2155 forgivingG5483 each other,G1438 asG2531 alsoG2532 -G3588 GodG2316 inG1722 ChristG5547 forgaveG5483 you.G4771
