49_EPH_04_01 I therefore , the prisoner of the LORD , beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called ,
49_EPH_04_02 with all lowliness And meekness , with longsuffering , forbearing one another in love ;
49_EPH_04_03 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace .
49_EPH_04_04 [ there Is ] one body , And one spirit , even as ye are called in one hope of your calling ;
49_EPH_04_05 one LORD , one faith , one baptism ,
49_EPH_04_06 one God And Father of all , who [ Is ] above all , And through all , And in you all .
49_EPH_04_07 but unto every one of us Is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ .
49_EPH_04_08 Wherefore he saith , when he ascended up on high , he led captivity captive , And gave gifts unto men .
49_EPH_04_09 [ now that he ascended , what Is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth ?
49_EPH_04_10 he that descended Is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens , that he might fill all things . ]
49_EPH_04_11 And he gave some , apostles ; And some , prophets ; And some , evangelists ; And some , pastors And teachers ;
49_EPH_04_12 for the perfecting of the saints , for the work of the ministry , for the edifying of the body of Christ :
49_EPH_04_13 till 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 :
49_EPH_04_14 that 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 ;
49_EPH_04_15 but speaking the truth in love , may grow up into him in all things , which Is the head , [ even ] Christ :
49_EPH_04_16 from 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 .
49_EPH_04_17 this I say therefore , And testify in the LORD , that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk , in the vanity of their mind ,
49_EPH_04_18 having the understanding darkened , being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that Is in them , because of the blindness of their heart :
49_EPH_04_19 who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness , to work all uncleanness with greediness .
49_EPH_04_20 but ye have not So learned Christ ;
49_EPH_04_21 if So be that ye have heard him , And have been taught by him , as the truth Is in Jesus :
49_EPH_04_22 that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man , which Is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts ;
49_EPH_04_23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind ;
49_EPH_04_24 And that ye put on the new man , which after God Is created in righteousness And true holiness .
49_EPH_04_25 Wherefore putting away lying , speak every man truth with his neighbour : for we are members one of another .
49_EPH_04_26 be ye angry , And sin not : let not the sun go down upon your wrath :
49_EPH_04_27 neither give place to the devil .
49_EPH_04_28 let 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 .
49_EPH_04_29 let 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 .
49_EPH_04_30 And grieve not the holy spirit of God , whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption .
49_EPH_04_31 let all bitterness , And wrath , And anger , And clamour , And evil speaking , be put away from you , with all malice :
49_EPH_04_32 And be ye kind one to another , tenderhearted , forgiving one another , even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you .
