Ephesians 4

1I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

παρακαλω ουν υμας εγω ο δεσμιος εν κυριω αξιως περιπατησαι της κλησεως ης εκληθητε,

2with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,

μετα πασης ταπεινοφροσυνης και πραοτητος, μετα μακροθυμιας, ανεχομενοι αλληλων εν αγαπη,

3endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

σπουδαζοντες τηρειν την ενοτητα του πνευματος εν τω συνδεσμω της ειρηνης.

4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;

εν σωμα και εν πνευμα, καθως και εκληθητε εν μια ελπιδι της κλησεως υμων·

5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

εις κυριος, μια πιστις, εν βαπτισμα·

6one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

εις θεος και πατηρ παντων, ο επι παντων, και δια παντων, και εν πασιν ημιν.

7But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

ενι δε εκαστω ημων εδοθη [η] χαρις κατα το μετρον της δωρεας του χριστου.

8Therefore He says: 'When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, And gave gifts to men.'

διο λεγει· αναβας εις υψος ηχμαλωτευσεν αιχμαλωσιαν και εδωκεν δοματα τοις ανθρωποις.

9(Now this, 'He ascended'—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?

το δε ανεβη τι εστιν ει μη οτι και κατεβη πρωτον εις τα κατωτερα μερη της γης;

10He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)

ο καταβας αυτος εστιν και ο αναβας υπερανω παντων των ουρανων, ινα πληρωση τα παντα.

11And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers,

και αυτος εδωκεν τους μεν αποστολους, τους δε προφητας, τους δε ευαγγελιστας, τους δε ποιμενας και διδασκαλους,

12for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

προς τον καταρτισμον των αγιων εις εργον διακονιας, εις οικοδομην του σωματος του χριστου,

13till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

μεχρι καταντησωμεν οι παντες εις την ενοτητα της πιστεως και της επιγνωσεως του υιου του θεου, εις ανδρα τελειον, εις μετρον ηλικιας του πληρωματος του χριστου,

14that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι, κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω της διδασκαλιας, εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων, εν πανουργια προς την μεθοδειαν της πλανης,

15but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ

αληθευοντες δε εν αγαπη αυξησωμεν εις αυτον τα παντα, ος εστιν η κεφαλη, ο χριστος,

16from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

εξ ου παν το σωμα συναρμολογουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον δια πασης αφης της επιχορηγιας κατ ενεργειαν εν μετρω ενος εκαστου μερους την αυξησιν του σωματος ποιειται εις οικοδομην εαυτου εν αγαπη.

17This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind,

τουτο ουν λεγω και μαρτυρομαι εν κυριω, μηκετι υμας περιπατειν καθως και τα λοιπα εθνη περιπατει εν ματαιοτητι του νοος αυτων,

18having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart;

εσκοτισμενοι τη διανοια, οντες απηλλοτριωμενοι της ζωης του θεου δια την αγνοιαν την ουσαν εν αυτοις δια την πωρωσιν της καρδιας αυτων,

19who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

οιτινες, απηλγηκοτες, εαυτους παρεδωκαν τη ασελγεια εις εργασιαν ακαθαρσιας πασης εν πλεονεξια.

20But you have not so learned Christ,

υμεις δε ουχ ουτως εμαθετε τον χριστον,

21if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus:

ειγε αυτον ηκουσατε και εν αυτω εδιδαχθητε, καθως εστιν αληθεια εν τω ιησου,

22that you put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts,

αποθεσθαι υμας κατα την προτεραν αναστροφην τον παλαιον ανθρωπον τον φθειρομενον κατα τας επιθυμιας της απατης,

23and be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

ανανεουσθαι δε τω πνευματι του νοος υμων

24and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

και ενδυσασθαι τον καινον ανθρωπον τον κατα θεον κτισθεντα εν δικαιοσυνη και οσιοτητι της αληθειας.

25Therefore, putting away lying, 'Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,' for we are members of one another.

διο αποθεμενοι το ψευδος λαλειτε αληθειαν εκαστος μετα του πλησιον αυτου· οτι εσμεν αλληλων μελη.

26'Be angry, and do not sin': do not let the sun go down on your wrath,

οργιζεσθε, και μη αμαρτανετε· ο ηλιος μη επιδυετω επι τω παροργισμω υμων,

27nor give place to the devil.

μηδε διδοτε τοπον τω διαβολω.

28Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.

ο κλεπτων μηκετι κλεπτετω, μαλλον δε κοπιατω εργαζομενος το αγαθον ταις χερσιν, ινα εχη μεταδιδοναι τω χρειαν εχοντι.

29Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

πας λογος σαπρος εκ του στοματος υμων μη εκπορευεσθω, αλλ ει τις αγαθος προς οικοδομην της χρειας, ινα δω χαριν τοις ακουουσιν.

30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

και μη λυπειτε το πνευμα το αγιον του θεου, εν ω εσφραγισθητε εις ημεραν απολυτρωσεως.

31Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

πασα πικρια και θυμος και οργη και κραυγη και βλασφημια αρθητω αφ υμων συν παση κακια·

32And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

γινεσθε δε εις αλληλους χρηστοι, ευσπλαγχνοι, χαριζομενοι εαυτοις καθως και ο θεος εν χριστω εχαρισατο ημιν.
