4 Therefore I _ am_ exhorting you _ all , I the prisoner in the _ master , worthily to _ walk of _ the calling to _ which you _ all_ were_ called , 2 with all humility and gentleness , with patience , tolerating of _ one_ another in love , 3 being _ earnest to _ be_ keeping the oneness of _ the spirit in the bond of _ the _ peace .
4 There _ is_ one one body and spirit , as also you _ all_ were_ called in one hope of _ the calling of _ you_ all , 5 one one , master one , faith immersion , 6 one god and father of _ all , who is over all , and through all , and in all .
7 But one to _ each of _ us was _ given the grace , according _ to the measure of _ the gift of _ the chosen _ one/messiah .
8 Therefore he _ is_ saying :
Having _ gone_ up to height , he _ captured captivity , he _ gave gifts to _ the _ people .
9 And which :
he _ went_ up , what is it , except not/lest that also he _ came_ down into the lower parts of _ the earth ?
10 The having _ come_ down himself is also the having _ gone_ up above all the heavens , in _ order_ that he _ may_ fill the all .
11 And he gave the on _ one_ hand ambassadors , on _ the_ other_ hand the prophets , on _ the_ other_ hand the good _ message_ preachers , on _ the_ other_ hand the shepherds and teachers , 12 with the completing of _ the holy for the _ work of _ service , because/for the _ building of _ the body of _ the chosen _ one/messiah , 13 until we _ may_ attain which all to the oneness of _ the faith , and of _ the knowledge of _ the son of _ the _ god , to a _ man mature , to the _ measure of _ the _ stature of _ the fullness of _ the chosen _ one/messiah , 14 in _ order_ that no _ longer we _ may_ be infants , being _ tossed_ by_ waves and being _ carried_ about by _ every wind of _ the _ teaching in the trickery of _ the _ people , in craftiness with the scheming of _ the _ deception , 15 but being _ truthful in love , we _ may_ grow into him in _ the all , who is the head chosen _ one/messiah , 16 from whom all the body , being _ joined_ together and being _ held_ together by every joint of _ its supply according _ to the _ working in the _ measure of _ one each part , the growth of _ the body is _ making to the _ building of _ itself in love .
17 Therefore this I _ am_ saying and I _ am_ testifying in the _ master , no _ longer you _ all to _ be_ walking , as also the pagans is _ walking in the _ uselessness of _ the mind of _ them .
18 Having _ been_ darkened in _ their mind being , having _ been_ estranged from _ the life of _ the _ god , because _ of the ignorance which being in them , because _ of the hardening of _ the heart of _ them , 19 who having _ languished , themselves gave _ over to _ the _ wantonness for the _ working of _ impurity all with greediness .
20 But you _ all not thus learned the chosen _ one/messiah , 21 if surely him you _ all_ heard and in him you _ all_ were_ taught , as is the _ truth in the Yaʸsous/(Yə hōshūˊa) , 22 to _ put_ away you _ all according _ to your earlier conduct the old person , which being _ corrupted according _ to the desires of _ the _ seduction , 23 and to _ be_ being_ renewed in _ the spirit of _ the mind of _ you_ all , 24 and to _ dress_ in the new person which according _ to god , having _ been_ created in righteousness and devoutness of _ the _ truth .
25 Therefore having _ put_ away the falsehood :
be _ speaking the _ truth each with the near him , because we _ are of _ one_ another members .
26 Be _ being_ angered , and _ yet not be _ sinning , the sun not let _ be_ set_ down on the _ anger of _ you_ all , 27 not be _ giving place to _ the devil .
28 The stealing no _ longer let _ be_ stealing , but rather him _ let_ be_ labouring , working with _ his hands the good , in _ order_ that he _ may_ be_ having to _ be_ sharing to _ the need having .
29 Any message bad out _ of the mouth of _ you_ all not let _ be_ going_ out , but if any good for building of _ the need , in _ order_ that it _ may_ give grace to _ the hearing .
30 And not be _ sorrowing the spirit the holy of _ the _ god , by whom you _ all_ were_ sealed for the _ day of _ redemption .
31 All bitterness , and rage , and severe _ anger , and clamour , and slander , let _ be_ taken_ away from you _ all with all malice .
32 Be _ becoming to one _ another good , tender-hearted , because/forgiving to _ yourselves , as also the god in chosen _ one/messiah forgave to _ you_ all .
