Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:1 - I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:2 - with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:3 - giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:4 - There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:5 - one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:6 - one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:7 - But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:8 - Wherefore he saith,
When he ascended on high,
he led captivity captive,
And gave gifts unto men.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:9 - (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:10 - He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:11 - And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:12 - for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:13 - till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:14 - that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:15 - but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:16 - from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.

The Christian's Walk

Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:17 - This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:18 - being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:19 - who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:20 - But ye did not so learn Christ;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:21 - if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:22 - that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:23 - and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:24 - and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:25 - Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:26 - Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:27 - neither give place to the devil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:28 - Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:29 - Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:30 - And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:31 - Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
Unchecked Copy BoxEph 4:32 - and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
