Chapter 4
1As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
(Hebrew unavailable)
2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
(Hebrew unavailable)
3and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
(Hebrew unavailable)
4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
(Hebrew unavailable)
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
(Hebrew unavailable)
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
(Hebrew unavailable)
7Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
8This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
(Hebrew unavailable)
9What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
(Hebrew unavailable)
10He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
(Hebrew unavailable)
11And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
(Hebrew unavailable)
12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
(Hebrew unavailable)
13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
14Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming.
(Hebrew unavailable)
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
(Hebrew unavailable)
16From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.
(Hebrew unavailable)
17So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
(Hebrew unavailable)
18They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.
(Hebrew unavailable)
19Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more.
(Hebrew unavailable)
20But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
(Hebrew unavailable)
21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
(Hebrew unavailable)
22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
(Hebrew unavailable)
23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
(Hebrew unavailable)
24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
(Hebrew unavailable)
25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
(Hebrew unavailable)
26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
(Hebrew unavailable)
27and do not give the devil a foothold.
(Hebrew unavailable)
28He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need.
(Hebrew unavailable)
29Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.
(Hebrew unavailable)
30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
(Hebrew unavailable)
31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
(Hebrew unavailable)
32Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
(Hebrew unavailable)
