以弗所書 4
Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
World English Bible
1我為主被囚的勸你們：既然蒙召，行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱。
1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐，用愛心互相寬容，
2with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3用和平彼此聯絡，竭力保守 聖 靈所賜合而為一的心。
3being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4身體只有一個， 聖 靈只有一個，正如你們蒙召同有一個指望。
4There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
5一主，一信，一洗，
5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6一上帝，就是眾人的父，超乎眾人之上，貫乎眾人之中，也住在眾人之內。
6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
7我們各人蒙恩，都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜。
7But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8所以 經上 說： 他升上高天的時候，擄掠了仇敵， 將各樣的恩賜賞給人。 （
8Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
9既說升上，豈不是先降在地下嗎？
9Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10那降下的，就是遠升諸天之上要充滿萬有的。）
10He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11他所賜的，有使徒，有先知，有傳福音的，有牧師和教師，
11He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
12為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體，
12for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
13直等到我們眾人在真道上同歸於一，認識上帝的兒子，得以長大成人，滿有基督長成的身量，
13until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14使我們不再作小孩子，中了人的詭計和欺騙的法術，被一切異教之風搖動，飄來飄去，就隨從各樣的異端；
14that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
15惟用愛心說誠實話，凡事長進，連於元首基督，
15but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
16全身都靠他聯絡得合式，百節各按各職，照着各體的功用彼此相助，便叫身體漸漸增長，在愛中建立自己。
16from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
17所以我說，且在主裏確實地說，你們行事不要再像外邦人存虛妄的心行事。
17This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
18他們心地昏昧，與上帝所賜的生命隔絕了，都因自己無知，心裏剛硬；
18being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.
19良心既然喪盡，就放縱私慾，貪行種種的污穢。
19They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20你們學了基督，卻不是這樣。
20But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
21如果你們聽過他的道，領了他的教，學了他的真理，
21if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22就要脫去你們從前行為上的舊人，這舊人是因私慾的迷惑漸漸變壞的；
22that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
23又要將你們的心志改換一新，
23and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24並且穿上新人；這新人是照着上帝 的形像 造的，有真理的仁義和聖潔。
24and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25所以，你們要棄絕謊言，各人與鄰舍說實話，因為我們是互相為肢體。
25Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
26生氣卻不要犯罪；不可含怒到日落，
26“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
27也不可給魔鬼留地步。
27and don’t give place to the devil.
28從前偷竊的，不要再偷；總要勞力，親手做正經事，就可有 餘 分給那缺少的人。
28Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
29污穢的言語一句不可出口，只要隨事說造就人的好話，叫聽見的人得益處。
29Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30不要叫上帝的聖靈擔憂；你們原是受了他的印記，等候得贖的日子來到。
30Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31一切苦毒、惱恨、忿怒、嚷鬧、毀謗，並一切的惡毒，都當從你們中間除掉；
31Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
32並要以恩慈相待，存憐憫的心，彼此饒恕，正如上帝在基督裏饒恕了你們一樣。
32And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
