World English Bible
1παρακαλω ουν υμασ εγω ο δεσμιοσ εν κυριω αξιωσ περιπατησαι τησ κλησεωσ ησ εκληθητε
1I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2μετα πασησ ταπεινοφροσυνησ και πραοτητοσ μετα μακροθυμιασ ανεχομενοι αλληλων εν αγαπη
2with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3σπουδαζοντεσ τηρειν την ενοτητα του πνευματοσ εν τω συνδεσμω τησ ειρηνησ
3being eager 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
4There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were 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 over all and through all and in us all.
7ενι δε εκαστω ημων εδοθη η χαρισ κατα το μετρον τησ δωρεασ του χριστου
7But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8διο λεγει αναβασ εισ υψοσ ηχμαλωτευσεν αιχμαλωσιαν και εδωκεν δοματα τοισ ανθρωποισ
8Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
9το δε ανεβη τι εστιν ει μη οτι και κατεβη πρωτον εισ τα κατωτερα μερη τησ γησ
9Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10ο καταβασ αυτοσ εστιν και ο αναβασ υπερανω παντων των ουρανων ινα πληρωση τα παντα
10He who descended is the one who also ascended far 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
11He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
12προσ τον καταρτισμον των αγιων εισ εργον διακονιασ εισ οικοδομην του σωματοσ του χριστου
12for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up 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 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,
14ινα μηκετι ωμεν νηπιοι κλυδωνιζομενοι και περιφερομενοι παντι ανεμω τησ διδασκαλιασ εν τη κυβεια των ανθρωπων εν πανουργια προσ την μεθοδειαν τησ πλανησ
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;
15αληθευοντεσ δε εν αγαπη αυξησωμεν εισ αυτον τα παντα οσ εστιν η κεφαλη ο χριστοσ
15but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, 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 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.
17τουτο ουν λεγω και μαρτυρομαι εν κυριω μηκετι υμασ περιπατειν καθωσ και τα λοιπα εθνη περιπατει εν ματαιοτητι του νοοσ αυτων
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,
18εσκοτισμενοι τη διανοια οντεσ απηλλοτριωμενοι τησ ζωησ του θεου δια την αγνοιαν την ουσαν εν αυτοισ δια την πωρωσιν τησ καρδιασ αυτων
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.
19οιτινεσ απηλγηκοτεσ εαυτουσ παρεδωκαν τη ασελγεια εισ εργασιαν ακαθαρσιασ πασησ εν πλεονεξια
19They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20υμεισ δε ουχ ουτωσ εμαθετε τον χριστον
20But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
21ειγε αυτον ηκουσατε και εν αυτω εδιδαχθητε καθωσ εστιν αληθεια εν τω ιησου
21if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22αποθεσθαι υμασ κατα την προτεραν αναστροφην τον παλαιον ανθρωπον τον φθειρομενον κατα τασ επιθυμιασ τησ απατησ
22that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
23ανανεουσθαι δε τω πνευματι του νοοσ υμων
23and that you 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 in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25διο αποθεμενοι το ψευδοσ λαλειτε αληθειαν εκαστοσ μετα του πλησιον αυτου οτι εσμεν αλληλων μελη
25Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
26οργιζεσθε και μη αμαρτανετε ο ηλιοσ μη επιδυετω επι τω παροργισμω υμων
26“Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
27μηδε διδοτε τοπον τω διαβολω
27and don’t give place to the devil.
28ο κλεπτων μηκετι κλεπτετω μαλλον δε κοπιατω εργαζομενοσ το αγαθον ταισ χερσιν ινα εχη μεταδιδοναι τω χρειαν εχοντι
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.
29πασ λογοσ σαπροσ εκ του στοματοσ υμων μη εκπορευεσθω αλλ ει τισ αγαθοσ προσ οικοδομην τησ χρειασ ινα δω χαριν τοισ ακουουσιν
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.
30και μη λυπειτε το πνευμα το αγιον του θεου εν ω εσφραγισθητε εισ ημεραν απολυτρωσεωσ
30Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31πασα πικρια και θυμοσ και οργη και κραυγη και βλασφημια αρθητω αφ υμων συν παση κακια
31Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander 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 kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.
