Book 49 : EPHESIANS - Chapter 004

004:001

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love

004:002

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace

004:003

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling

004:004

One Lord, one faith, one baptism

004:005

One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all

004:006

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ

004:007

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men

004:008

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth

004:009

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.

004:010

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers

004:011

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ

004:012

Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ

004:013

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive

004:014

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ

004:015

From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love

004:016

This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind

004:017

Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart

004:018

Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness

004:019

But ye have not so learned Christ

004:020

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus

004:021

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts

004:022

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind

004:023

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness

004:024

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another

004:025

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath

004:026

Neither give place to the devil

004:027

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth

004:028

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers

004:029

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption

004:030

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice

004:031

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you
