Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,
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。
2With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
2凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐，用愛心互相寬容，
3Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
3用和平彼此聯絡，竭力保守 聖 靈所賜合而為一的心。
4One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling.
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。
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
5一主，一信，一洗，
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
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。
7But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
7我們各人蒙恩，都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜。
8Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.
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。 （
9Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
9既說升上，豈不是先降在地下嗎？
10He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
10那降下的，就是遠升諸天之上要充滿萬有的。）
11And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,
11他所賜的，有使徒，有先知，有傳福音的，有牧師和教師，
12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
12為要成全聖徒，各盡其職，建立基督的身體，
13Until we all meet into the unity of faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness 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，
14That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness, by which they lie in wait to deceive.
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；
15But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
15惟用愛心說誠實話，凡事長進，連於元首基督，
16From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
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。
17This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,
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。
18Having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.
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；
19Who despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
19良心既然喪盡，就放縱私慾，貪行種種的污穢。
20But you have not so learned Christ;
20你們學了基督，卻不是這樣。
21If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
21如果你們聽過他的道，領了他的教，學了他的真理，
22To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
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；
23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind:
23又要將你們的心志改換一新，
24And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
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。
25Wherefore putting away lying, speak; ye the truth every man with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.
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。
26Be angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
26生氣卻不要犯罪；不可含怒到日落，
27Give not place to the devil.
27也不可給魔鬼留地步。
28He that stole, let him now steal no more; but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
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。
29Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth; but that which is good, to the edification of faith, that it may administer grace to the hearers.
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。
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
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。
31Let all bitterness, and anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice.
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；
32And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
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。
