Chapter 4
Ephe KJV 4:1  I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
Ephe KJV 4:2  With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
Ephe KJV 4:3  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
Ephe KJV 4:4  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
Ephe KJV 4:6  One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Ephe KJV 4:7  But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
Ephe KJV 4:8  Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Ephe KJV 4:9  (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Ephe KJV 4:10  He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Ephe KJV 4:11  And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephe KJV 4:12  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
Ephe KJV 4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Ephe KJV 4:14  That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
Ephe KJV 4:15  But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Ephe KJV 4:16  From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
Ephe KJV 4:17  This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Ephe KJV 4:18  Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
Ephe KJV 4:19  Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Ephe KJV 4:21  If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
Ephe KJV 4:22  That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
Ephe KJV 4:24  And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
Ephe KJV 4:25  Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
Ephe KJV 4:26  Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
Ephe KJV 4:28  Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
Ephe KJV 4:29  Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephe KJV 4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephe KJV 4:31  Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephe KJV 4:32  And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
