Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1παρακαλω ουν υμασ εγω ο δεσμιοσ εν κυριω αξιωσ περιπατησαι τησ κλησεωσ ησ εκληθητε
1I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called,
2μετα πασησ ταπεινοφροσυνησ και πραοτητοσ μετα μακροθυμιασ ανεχομενοι αλληλων εν αγαπη
2With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
3σπουδαζοντεσ τηρειν την ενοτητα του πνευματοσ εν τω συνδεσμω τησ ειρηνησ
3Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4εν σωμα και εν πνευμα καθωσ και εκληθητε εν μια ελπιδι τησ κλησεωσ υμων
4One body and one Spirit; as you are called in one hope of your calling.
5εισ κυριοσ μια πιστισ εν βαπτισμα
5One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
6εισ θεοσ και πατηρ παντων ο επι παντων και δια παντων και εν πασιν ημιν
6One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
7ενι δε εκαστω ημων εδοθη η χαρισ κατα το μετρον τησ δωρεασ του χριστου
7But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
8διο λεγει αναβασ εισ υψοσ ηχμαλωτευσεν αιχμαλωσιαν και εδωκεν δοματα τοισ ανθρωποισ
8Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive; he gave gifts to men.
9το δε ανεβη τι εστιν ει μη οτι και κατεβη πρωτον εισ τα κατωτερα μερη τησ γησ
9Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
10ο καταβασ αυτοσ εστιν και ο αναβασ υπερανω παντων των ουρανων ινα πληρωση τα παντα
10He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11και αυτοσ εδωκεν τουσ μεν αποστολουσ τουσ δε προφητασ τουσ δε ευαγγελιστασ τουσ δε ποιμενασ και διδασκαλουσ
11And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors,
12προσ τον καταρτισμον των αγιων εισ εργον διακονιασ εισ οικοδομην του σωματοσ του χριστου
12For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body 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
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;
14ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω τησ διδασκαλιασ εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων εν πανουργια προσ την μεθοδειαν τησ πλανησ
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.
15αληθευοντεσ δε εν αγαπη αυξησωμεν εισ αυτον τα παντα οσ εστιν η κεφαλη ο χριστοσ
15But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
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
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.
17τουτο ουν λεγω και μαρτυρομαι εν κυριω μηκετι υμασ περιπατειν καθωσ και τα λοιπα εθνη περιπατει εν ματαιοτητι του νοοσ αυτων
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,
18εσκοτισμενοι τη διανοια οντεσ απηλλοτριωμενοι τησ ζωησ του θεου δια την αγνοιαν την ουσαν εν αυτοισ δια την πωρωσιν τησ καρδιασ αυτων
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.
19οιτινεσ απηλγηκοτεσ εαυτουσ παρεδωκαν τη ασελγεια εισ εργασιαν ακαθαρσιασ πασησ εν πλεονεξια
19Who despairing, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
20υμεισ δε ουχ ουτωσ εμαθετε τον χριστον
20But you have not so learned Christ;
21ειγε αυτον ηκουσατε και εν αυτω εδιδαχθητε καθωσ εστιν αληθεια εν τω ιησου
21If so be that you have heard him, and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
22αποθεσθαι υμασ κατα την προτεραν αναστροφην τον παλαιον ανθρωπον τον φθειρομενον κατα τασ επιθυμιασ τησ απατησ
22To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
23ανανεουσθαι δε τω πνευματι του νοοσ υμων
23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind:
24και ενδυσασθαι τον καινον ανθρωπον τον κατα θεον κτισθεντα εν δικαιοσυνη και οσιοτητι τησ αληθειασ
24And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
25διο αποθεμενοι το ψευδοσ λαλειτε αληθειαν εκαστοσ μετα του πλησιον αυτου οτι εσμεν αλληλων μελη
25Wherefore putting away lying, speak; ye the truth every man with his neighbour; for we are members one of another.
26οργιζεσθε και μη αμαρτανετε ο ηλιοσ μη επιδυετω επι τω παροργισμω υμων
26Be angry, and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
27μηδε διδοτε τοπον τω διαβολω
27Give not place to the devil.
28ο κλεπτων μηκετι κλεπτετω μαλλον δε κοπιατω εργαζομενοσ το αγαθον ταισ χερσιν ινα εχη μεταδιδοναι τω χρειαν εχοντι
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.
29πασ λογοσ σαπροσ εκ του στοματοσ υμων μη εκπορευεσθω αλλ ει τισ αγαθοσ προσ οικοδομην τησ χρειασ ινα δω χαριν τοισ ακουουσιν
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.
30και μη λυπειτε το πνευμα το αγιον του θεου εν ω εσφραγισθητε εισ ημεραν απολυτρωσεωσ
30And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31πασα πικρια και θυμοσ και οργη και κραυγη και βλασφημια αρθητω αφ υμων συν παση κακια
31Let all bitterness, and anger, and indignation, and clamour, and blasphemy, be put away from you, with all malice.
32γινεσθε δε εισ αλληλουσ χρηστοι ευσπλαγχνοι χαριζομενοι εαυτοισ καθωσ και ο θεοσ εν χριστω εχαρισατο ημιν
32And be ye kind one to another; merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
