Ephesians 4

1 He exhorteth to unity, 7 and declareth that God therefore giveth divers 11 gifts unto men, that his Church might be 13 edified, and 16 grown up in Christ. 18 He calleth them from the impurity of the Gentiles, 24 to put on the new man, 25 to cast off lying, and 29 corrupt communication.

 4:1 ¶ I 1473 therefore, 3767 the x3588 prisoner 1198 of 1722 the Lord, 2962 beseech 3870 z5719 you 5209 that ye walk 4043 z5658 worthy 516 of the x3588 vocation 2821 wherewith 3739 ye are called, 2564 z5681

 4:2 With 3326 all 3956 lowliness 5012 and 2532 meekness, 4236 with 3326 longsuffering, 3115 forbearing 430 z5740 one another 240 in 1722 love; 26

 4:3 Endeavouring 4704 z5723 to keep 5083 z5721 the x3588 unity 1775 of the x3588 Spirit 4151 in 1722 the x3588 bond 4886 of peace. 1515

 4:4 [There is] one 1520 body, 4983 and 2532 one 1520 Spirit, 4151 even as 2531 y2532 ye are called 2564 z5681 in 1722 one 3391 hope 1680 of your 5216 calling; 2821

 4:5 One 1520 Lord, 2962 one y1520 x3391 faith, 4102 one y3391 x1520 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 z5681 grace 5485 according x2596 to y2596 the x3588 measure 3358 of the x3588 gift 1431 of Christ. 5547

 4:8 Wherefore 1352 he saith, 3004 z5719 When he ascended y305 z5631 up y1519 x305 on x1519 high, 5311 he led captivity y162 z5656 captive, 161 x162 and 2532 gave 1325 z5656 gifts 1390 unto men. 444

 4:9 (Now 1161 that x3588 he ascended, 305 z5627 what 5101 is x2076 it y2076 z5748 but 1508 that 3754 he y2597 z0 also 2532 descended 2597 z5627 first 4412 into 1519 the x3588 lower 2737 parts 3313 of the x3588 earth? 1093

 4:10 He y846 that descended 2597 z5631 is 2076 z5748 the same x846 also 2532 that ascended up 305 z5631 far above 5231 all 3956 heavens, 3772 that 2443 he might fill 4137 z5661 all things.) 3956

 4:11 And 2532 he 846 gave 1325 z5656 some, 3303 x3588 apostles; 652 and 1161 some, x3588 prophets; 4396 and 1161 some, x3588 evangelists; 2099 and 1161 some, x3588 pastors 4166 and 2532 teachers; 1320

 4:12 For 4314 the x3588 perfecting 2677 of the x3588 saints, 40 for 1519 the work 2041 of the ministry, 1248 for 1519 the edifying 3619 of the x3588 body 4983 of Christ: 5547

 4:13 Till 3360 we all 3956 come 2658 z5661 in 1519 the x3588 unity 1775 of the x3588 faith, 4102 and 2532 of the x3588 knowledge 1922 of the x3588 Son 5207 of God, 2316 unto 1519 a perfect 5046 man, 435 unto 1519 the measure 3358 of the stature 2244 of the x3588 fulness 4138 of Christ: 5547

 4:14 That 2443 we [henceforth] be 5600 z5753 no more 3371 children, 3516 tossed to and fro, 2831 z5740 and 2532 carried about x4064 with y4064 z5746 every 3956 wind 417 of doctrine, 1319 by 1722 the x3588 sleight 2940 of men, 444 [and] x1722 cunning craftiness, 3834 y1722 whereby 4314 they lie in wait y3180 to deceive; 4106 x3180

 4:15 But 1161 speaking the truth 226 z5723 in 1722 love, 26 may grow up 837 z5661 into 1519 him 846 in all things, 3956 which 3739 is 2076 z5748 the x3588 head, 2776 [even] Christ: 5547

 4:16 From 1537 whom 3739 the x3588 whole 3956 body 4983 fitly joined together 4883 z5746 and 2532 compacted 4822 z5746 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 x1520 part, 3313 y1520 maketh 4160 z5731 increase 838 of the x3588 body 4983 unto 1519 the edifying 3619 of itself 1438 in 1722 love. 26

 4:17 This 5124 I say 3004 z5719 therefore, 3767 and 2532 testify 3143 z5736 in 1722 the Lord, 2962 that ye 5209 henceforth y3371 z0 walk y4043 z5721 not 3371 x4043 as 2531 2532 other 3062 Gentiles 1484 walk, 4043 z5719 in 1722 the vanity 3153 of their y846 x848 mind, 3563

 4:18 Having the x3588 understanding 1271 darkened, 4654 z5772 being 5607 z5752 alienated 526 z5772 from the x3588 life 2222 of God 2316 through 1223 the x3588 ignorance 52 that is 5607 z5752 in 1722 them, 846 because 1223 of the x3588 blindness 4457 of their 846 heart: 2588

 4:19 Who 3748 being past feeling 524 z5761 have given y3860 z0 themselves y1438 over 3860 z5656 x1438 unto lasciviousness, 766 to 1519 work 2039 all 3956 uncleanness 167 with 1722 greediness. 4124

 4:20 But 1161 ye 5210 have y3129 z0 not 3756 so 3779 learned 3129 z5627 Christ; 5547

 4:21 If so be x1489 that y1489 ye have heard 191 z5656 him, 846 and 2532 have been taught 1321 z5681 by 1722 him, 846 as 2531 the truth 225 is 2076 z5748 in 1722 Jesus: 2424

 4:22 That ye 5209 put off 659 z5641 concerning 2596 the x3588 former 4387 conversation 391 the x3588 old 3820 man, 444 which y3588 is corrupt 5351 z5746 according 2596 to the x3588 deceitful 539 lusts; 1939

 4:23 And 1161 be renewed 365 z5745 in the x3588 spirit 4151 of your 5216 mind; 3563

 4:24 And 2532 that ye put on 1746 z5670 the x3588 new 2537 man, 444 which y3588 after 2596 God 2316 is created 2936 z5685 in 1722 righteousness 1343 and 2532 true 225 holiness. 3742

 4:25 Wherefore 1352 putting away 659 z5642 lying, 5579 speak 2980 z5720 every man 1538 truth 225 with 3326 his y846 x848 neighbour: 4139 for 3754 we are 2070 z5748 members 3196 one of another. 240

 4:26 Be ye angry, 3710 z5744 and 2532 sin 264 z5720 not: y3361 let y1931 z0 x3361 not 3361 the x3588 sun 2246 go down 1931 z5720 upon 1909 your 5216 wrath: 3950

 4:27 Neither 3383 give 1325 z5720 place 5117 to the x3588 devil. 1228

 4:28 Let y2813 z0 him that stole 2813 z5723 steal 2813 z5720 no more: 3371 but 1161 rather 3123 let him labour, 2872 z5720 working 2038 z5740 with [his] hands 5495 the thing which is good, 18 that 2443 he may have 2192 z5725 to give 3330 z5721 to him that needeth. 5532 2192 z5723

 4:29 Let y4550 z0 no 3361 3956 corrupt 4550 communication 3056 proceed 1607 z5737 out of 1537 your 5216 mouth, 4750 but 235 that x1536 which y1536 is good 18 to 4314 the x3588 use 5532 of edifying, 3619 that 2443 it may minister 1325 z5632 grace 5485 unto the x3588 hearers. 191 z5723

 4:30 And 2532 grieve 3076 z5720 not 3361 the x3588 holy 40 Spirit 4151 of God, 2316 whereby 1722 3739 ye are sealed 4972 z5681 unto 1519 the day 2250 of redemption. 629

 4:31 Let y142 z0 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 z5682 from 575 you, 5216 with 4862 all 3956 malice: 2549

 4:32 And 1161 be 1096 z5737 ye kind 5543 one to another, 1519 240 tenderhearted, 2155 forgiving 5483 z5740 z5746 one another, 1438 even x2532 as 2531 y2532 God 2316 for y1722 z0 Christ's y5547 sake 1722 x5547 hath forgiven 5483 z5662 you. 5213
