Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received:
1παρακαλω ουν υμασ εγω ο δεσμιοσ εν κυριω αξιωσ περιπατησαι τησ κλησεωσ ησ εκληθητε
2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
2μετα πασησ ταπεινοφροσυνησ και πραοτητοσ μετα μακροθυμιασ ανεχομενοι αλληλων εν αγαπη
3and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.
3σπουδαζοντεσ τηρειν την ενοτητα του πνευματοσ εν τω συνδεσμω τησ ειρηνησ
4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called;
4εν σωμα και εν πνευμα καθωσ και εκληθητε εν μια ελπιδι τησ κλησεωσ υμων
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
5εισ κυριοσ μια πιστισ εν βαπτισμα
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
6εισ θεοσ και πατηρ παντων ο επι παντων και δια παντων και εν πασιν ημιν
7Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
7ενι δε εκαστω ημων εδοθη η χαρισ κατα το μετρον τησ δωρεασ του χριστου
8This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.”
8διο λεγει αναβασ εισ υψοσ ηχμαλωτευσεν αιχμαλωσιαν και εδωκεν δοματα τοισ ανθρωποισ
9What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth?
9το δε ανεβη τι εστιν ει μη οτι και κατεβη πρωτον εισ τα κατωτερα μερη τησ γησ
10He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.
10ο καταβασ αυτοσ εστιν και ο αναβασ υπερανω παντων των ουρανων ινα πληρωση τα παντα
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,
11και αυτοσ εδωκεν τουσ μεν αποστολουσ τουσ δε προφητασ τουσ δε ευαγγελιστασ τουσ δε ποιμενασ και διδασκαλουσ
12to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ,
12προσ τον καταρτισμον των αγιων εισ εργον διακονιασ εισ οικοδομην του σωματοσ του χριστου
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.
13μεχρι καταντησωμεν οι παντεσ εισ την ενοτητα τησ πιστεωσ και τησ επιγνωσεωσ του υιου του θεου εισ ανδρα τελειον εισ μετρον ηλικιασ του πληρωματοσ του χριστου
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.
14ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω τησ διδασκαλιασ εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων εν πανουργια προσ την μεθοδειαν τησ πλανησ
15Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head.
15αληθευοντεσ δε εν αγαπη αυξησωμεν εισ αυτον τα παντα οσ εστιν η κεφαλη ο χριστοσ
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.
16εξ ου παν το σωμα συναρμολογουμενον και συμβιβαζομενον δια πασησ αφησ τησ επιχορηγιασ κατ ενεργειαν εν μετρω ενοσ εκαστου μερουσ την αυξησιν του σωματοσ ποιειται εισ οικοδομην εαυτου εν αγαπη
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.
17τουτο ουν λεγω και μαρτυρομαι εν κυριω μηκετι υμασ περιπατειν καθωσ και τα λοιπα εθνη περιπατει εν ματαιοτητι του νοοσ αυτων
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.
18εσκοτισμενοι τη διανοια οντεσ απηλλοτριωμενοι τησ ζωησ του θεου δια την αγνοιαν την ουσαν εν αυτοισ δια την πωρωσιν τησ καρδιασ αυτων
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.
19οιτινεσ απηλγηκοτεσ εαυτουσ παρεδωκαν τη ασελγεια εισ εργασιαν ακαθαρσιασ πασησ εν πλεονεξια
20But this is not the way you came to know Christ.
20υμεισ δε ουχ ουτωσ εμαθετε τον χριστον
21Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him—in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus—
21ειγε αυτον ηκουσατε και εν αυτω εδιδαχθητε καθωσ εστιν αληθεια εν τω ιησου
22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;
22αποθεσθαι υμασ κατα την προτεραν αναστροφην τον παλαιον ανθρωπον τον φθειρομενον κατα τασ επιθυμιασ τησ απατησ
23to be renewed in the spirit of your minds;
23ανανεουσθαι δε τω πνευματι του νοοσ υμων
24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
24και ενδυσασθαι τον καινον ανθρωπον τον κατα θεον κτισθεντα εν δικαιοσυνη και οσιοτητι τησ αληθειασ
25Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another.
25διο αποθεμενοι το ψευδοσ λαλειτε αληθειαν εκαστοσ μετα του πλησιον αυτου οτι εσμεν αλληλων μελη
26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger,
26οργιζεσθε και μη αμαρτανετε ο ηλιοσ μη επιδυετω επι τω παροργισμω υμων
27and do not give the devil a foothold.
27μηδε διδοτε τοπον τω διαβολω
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.
28ο κλεπτων μηκετι κλεπτετω μαλλον δε κοπιατω εργαζομενοσ το αγαθον ταισ χερσιν ινα εχη μεταδιδοναι τω χρειαν εχοντι
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.
29πασ λογοσ σαπροσ εκ του στοματοσ υμων μη εκπορευεσθω αλλ ει τισ αγαθοσ προσ οικοδομην τησ χρειασ ινα δω χαριν τοισ ακουουσιν
30And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
30και μη λυπειτε το πνευμα το αγιον του θεου εν ω εσφραγισθητε εισ ημεραν απολυτρωσεωσ
31Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice.
31πασα πικρια και θυμοσ και οργη και κραυγη και βλασφημια αρθητω αφ υμων συν παση κακια
32Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
32γινεσθε δε εισ αλληλουσ χρηστοι ευσπλαγχνοι χαριζομενοι εαυτοισ καθωσ και ο θεοσ εν χριστω εχαρισατο ημιν
