Ephesians 4:12-32

4:12

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>_:

4:13

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}

4:14

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>_;

4:15

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}

4:16

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>_.

4:17

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>_,

4:18

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}

4:19

Who
<3748>

being past feeling
<524> (5761)

have given
<3860> (0)

themselves
<1438>

over
<3860> (5656)

unto lasciviousness
<766>_,

to
<1519>

work
<2039>

all
<3956>

uncleanness
<167>

with
<1722>

greediness
<4124>_.

4:20

But
<1161>

ye
<5210>

have
<3129> (0)

not
<3756>

so
<3779>

learned
<3129> (5627)

Christ
<5547>_;

4:21

If so be that
<1489>

ye have heard
<191> (5656)

him
<846>_,

and
<2532>

have been taught
<1321> (5681)

by
<1722>

him
<846>_,

as
<2531>

the truth
<225>

is
<2076> (5748)

in
<1722>

Jesus
<2424>_:

4:22

That ye
<5209>

put off
<659> (5641)

concerning
<2596>

the former
<4387>

conversation
<391>

the old
<3820>

man
<444>_,

which
<3588>

is corrupt
<5351> (5746)

according
<2596>

to the deceitful
<539>

lusts
<1939>_;

4:23

And
<1161>

be renewed
<365> (5745)

in the spirit
<4151>

of your
<5216>

mind
<3563>_;

4:24

And
<2532>

that ye put on
<1746> (5670)

the new
<2537>

man
<444>_,

which
<3588>

after
<2596>

God
<2316>

is created
<2936> (5685)

in
<1722>

righteousness
<1343>

and
<2532>

true
<225>

holiness
<3742>_.

{true...: or, holiness of truth}

4:25

Wherefore
<1352>

putting away
<659> (5642)

lying
<5579>_,

speak
<2980> (5720)

every man
<1538>

truth
<225>

with
<3326>

his
<846>

neighbour
<4139>_:

for
<3754>

we are
<2070> (5748)

members
<3196>

one of another
<240>_.

4:26

Be ye angry
<3710> (5744)_,

and
<2532>

sin
<264> (5720)

not
<3361>_:

let
<1931> (0)

not
<3361>

the sun
<2246>

go down
<1931> (5720)

upon
<1909>

your
<5216>

wrath
<3950>_:

4:27

Neither
<3383>

give
<1325> (5720)

place
<5117>

to the devil
<1228>_.

4:28

Let
<2813> (0)

him that stole
<2813> (5723)

steal
<2813> (5720)

no more
<3371>_:

but
<1161>

rather
<3123>

let him labour
<2872> (5720)_,

working
<2038> (5740)

with [his] hands
<5495>

the thing which is good
<18>_,

that
<2443>

he may have
<2192> (5725)

to give
<3330> (5721)

to him that needeth
<5532> <2192> (5723)_.

{to give: or, to distribute}

4:29

Let
<4550> (0)

no
<3361> <3956>

corrupt
<4550>

communication
<3056>

proceed
<1607> (5737)

out of
<1537>

your
<5216>

mouth
<4750>_,

but
<235>

that which
<1536>

is good
<18>

to
<4314>

the use
<5532>

of edifying
<3619>_,

that
<2443>

it may minister
<1325> (5632)

grace
<5485>

unto the hearers
<191> (5723)_.

{to...: or, to edify profitably}

4:30

And
<2532>

grieve
<3076> (5720)

not
<3361>

the holy
<40>

Spirit
<4151>

of God
<2316>_,

whereby
<1722> <3739>

ye are sealed
<4972> (5681)

unto
<1519>

the day
<2250>

of redemption
<629>_.

4:31

Let
<142> (0)

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> (5682)

from
<575>

you
<5216>_,

with
<4862>

all
<3956>

malice
<2549>_:

4:32

And
<1161>

be
<1096> (5737)

ye kind
<5543>

one to another
<1519> <240>_,

tenderhearted
<2155>_,

forgiving
<5483> (5740) (5746)

one another
<1438>_,

even as
<2531> <2532>

God
<2316>

for
<1722> (0)

Christ's
<5547>

sake
<1722>

hath forgiven
<5483> (5662)

you
<5213>_.
