Ephesians 4

¹I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,SelectedEphesians 4:1CopyShareAsk

²With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;SelectedEphesians 4:2CopyShareAsk

³Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.SelectedEphesians 4:3CopyShareAsk

⁴There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;SelectedEphesians 4:4CopyShareAsk

⁵One Lord, one faith, one baptism,SelectedEphesians 4:5CopyShareAsk

⁶One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.SelectedEphesians 4:6CopyShareAsk

⁷But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.SelectedEphesians 4:7CopyShareAsk

⁸Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.SelectedEphesians 4:8CopyShareAsk

⁹(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?SelectedEphesians 4:9CopyShareAsk

¹⁰He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)SelectedEphesians 4:10CopyShareAsk

¹¹And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;SelectedEphesians 4:11CopyShareAsk

¹²For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:SelectedEphesians 4:12CopyShareAsk

¹³Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:SelectedEphesians 4:13CopyShareAsk

¹⁴That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;SelectedEphesians 4:14CopyShareAsk

¹⁵But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:SelectedEphesians 4:15CopyShareAsk

¹⁶From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.SelectedEphesians 4:16CopyShareAsk

¹⁷This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,SelectedEphesians 4:17CopyShareAsk

¹⁸Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:SelectedEphesians 4:18CopyShareAsk

¹⁹Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.SelectedEphesians 4:19CopyShareAsk

²⁰But ye have not so learned Christ;SelectedEphesians 4:20CopyShareAsk

²¹If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:SelectedEphesians 4:21CopyShareAsk

²²That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;SelectedEphesians 4:22CopyShareAsk

²³And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;SelectedEphesians 4:23CopyShareAsk

²⁴And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.SelectedEphesians 4:24CopyShareAsk

²⁵Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.SelectedEphesians 4:25CopyShareAsk

²⁶Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:SelectedEphesians 4:26CopyShareAsk

²⁷Neither give place to the devil.SelectedEphesians 4:27CopyShareAsk

²⁸Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.SelectedEphesians 4:28CopyShareAsk

²⁹Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.SelectedEphesians 4:29CopyShareAsk

³⁰And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.SelectedEphesians 4:30CopyShareAsk

³¹Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:SelectedEphesians 4:31CopyShareAsk

³²And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.SelectedEphesians 4:32CopyShareAsk
