Ephesians 4:1-18

I
<1473>
therefore
<3767>_,
the prisoner
<1198>
of
<1722>
the Lord
<2962>_,
beseech
<3870> (5719)
you
<5209>
that ye walk
<4043> (5658)
worthy
<516>
of the vocation
<2821>
wherewith
<3739>
ye are called
<2564> (5681)_,
{of the Lord: or, in the Lord}
With
<3326>
all
<3956>
lowliness
<5012>
and
<2532>
meekness
<4236>_,
with
<3326>
longsuffering
<3115>_,
forbearing
<430> (5740)
one another
<240>
in
<1722>
love
<26>_;
Endeavouring
<4704> (5723)
to keep
<5083> (5721)
the unity
<1775>
of the Spirit
<4151>
in
<1722>
the bond
<4886>
of peace
<1515>_.
[There is] one
<1520>
body
<4983>_,
and
<2532>
one
<1520>
Spirit
<4151>_,
even as
<2531> <2532>
ye are called
<2564> (5681)
in
<1722>
one
<3391>
hope
<1680>
of your
<5216>
calling
<2821>_;
One
<1520>
Lord
<2962>_,
one
<1520>
faith
<4102>_,
one
<3391>
baptism
<908>_,
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>_.
But
<1161>
unto every
<1538>
one
<1520>
of us
<2257>
is given
<1325> (5681)
grace
<5485>
according to
<2596>
the measure
<3358>
of the gift
<1431>
of Christ
<5547>_.
Wherefore
<1352>
he saith
<3004> (5719)_,
When he ascended
<305> (5631)
up
<1519>
on high
<5311>_,
he led captivity
<162> (5656)
captive
<161>_,
and
<2532>
gave
<1325> (5656)
gifts
<1390>
unto men
<444>_.
{captivity...: or, a multitude of captives}
(Now
<1161>
that he ascended
<305> (5627)_,
what
<5101>
is it
<2076> (5748)
but
<1508>
that
<3754>
he
<2597> (0)
also
<2532>
descended
<2597> (5627)
first
<4412>
into
<1519>
the lower
<2737>
parts
<3313>
of the earth
<1093>_?
He
<846>
that descended
<2597> (5631)
is
<2076> (5748)
the same also
<2532>
that ascended up
<305> (5631)
far above
<5231>
all
<3956>
heavens
<3772>_,
that
<2443>
he might fill
<4137> (5661)
all things
<3956>.)
{fill: or, fulfil}
And
<2532>
he
<846>
gave
<1325> (5656)
some
<3303>_,
apostles
<652>_;
and
<1161>
some, prophets
<4396>_;
and
<1161>
some, evangelists
<2099>_;
and
<1161>
some, pastors
<4166>
and
<2532>
teachers
<1320>_;
For
<4314>
the perfecting
<2677>
of the saints
<40>_,
for
<1519>
the work
<2041>
of the ministry
<1248>_,
for
<1519>
the edifying
<3619>
of the body
<4983>
of Christ
<5547>_:
Till
<3360>
we all
<3956>
come
<2658> (5661)
in
<1519>
the unity
<1775>
of the faith
<4102>_,
and
<2532>
of the knowledge
<1922>
of the Son
<5207>
of God
<2316>_,
unto
<1519>
a perfect
<5046>
man
<435>_,
unto
<1519>
the measure
<3358>
of the stature
<2244>
of the fulness
<4138>
of Christ
<5547>_:
{in: or, into} {stature: or, age}
That
<2443>
we [henceforth] be
<5600> (5753)
no more
<3371>
children
<3516>_,
tossed to and fro
<2831> (5740)_,
and
<2532>
carried about with
<4064> (5746)
every
<3956>
wind
<417>
of doctrine
<1319>_,
by
<1722>
the sleight
<2940>
of men
<444>_,
[and] cunning craftiness
<1722> <3834>_,
whereby
<4314>
they lie in wait
<3180>
to deceive
<4106>_;
But
<1161>
speaking the truth
<226> (5723)
in
<1722>
love
<26>_,
may grow up
<837> (5661)
into
<1519>
him
<846>
in all things
<3956>_,
which
<3739>
is
<2076> (5748)
the head
<2776>_,
[even] Christ
<5547>_:
{speaking...: or, being sincere}
From
<1537>
whom
<3739>
the whole
<3956>
body
<4983>
fitly joined together
<4883> (5746)
and
<2532>
compacted
<4822> (5746)
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>
part
<1520> <3313>_,
maketh
<4160> (5731)
increase
<838>
of the body
<4983>
unto
<1519>
the edifying
<3619>
of itself
<1438>
in
<1722>
love
<26>_.
This
<5124>
I say
<3004> (5719)
therefore
<3767>_,
and
<2532>
testify
<3143> (5736)
in
<1722>
the Lord
<2962>_,
that ye
<5209>
henceforth
<3371> (0)
walk
<4043> (5721)
not
<3371>
as
<2531> <2532>
other
<3062>
Gentiles
<1484>
walk
<4043> (5719)_,
in
<1722>
the vanity
<3153>
of their
<846>
mind
<3563>_,
Having the understanding
<1271>
darkened
<4654> (5772)_,
being
<5607> (5752)
alienated
<526> (5772)
from the life
<2222>
of God
<2316>
through
<1223>
the ignorance
<52>
that is
<5607> (5752)
in
<1722>
them
<846>_,
because
<1223>
of the blindness
<4457>
of their
<846>
heart
<2588>_:
{blindness: or, hardness}
