Ephesians 4

English Standard Version ESV

1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called,

2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call—

5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

7 But grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men. ”

9 ( In saying, “He ascended, ” what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower regions, the earth?

10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things. )

11 And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers,

12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,

13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,

14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.

15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

17 Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds.

18 They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

19 They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

20 But that is not the way you learned Christ! —

21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus,

22 to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,

23 and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,

24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.

26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,

27 and give no opportunity to the devil.

28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with anyone in need.

29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice.

32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 obsecro itaque vos ego vinctus in Domino ut digne ambuletis vocatione qua vocati estis

2 cum omni humilitate et mansuetudine cum patientia subportantes invicem in caritate

3 solliciti servare unitatem spiritus in vinculo pacis

4 unum corpus et unus spiritus sicut vocati estis in una spe vocationis vestrae

5 unus Dominus una fides unum baptisma

6 unus Deus et Pater omnium qui super omnes et per omnia et in omnibus nobis

7 unicuique autem nostrum data est gratia secundum mensuram donationis Christi

8 propter quod dicit ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivitatem dedit dona hominibus

9 quod autem ascendit quid est nisi quia et descendit primum in inferiores partes terrae

10 qui descendit ipse est et qui ascendit super omnes caelos ut impleret omnia

11 et ipse dedit quosdam quidem apostolos quosdam autem prophetas alios vero evangelistas alios autem pastores et doctores

12 ad consummationem sanctorum in opus ministerii in aedificationem corporis Christi

13 donec occurramus omnes in unitatem fidei et agnitionis Filii Dei in virum perfectum in mensuram aetatis plenitudinis Christi

14 ut iam non simus parvuli fluctuantes et circumferamur omni vento doctrinae in nequitia hominum in astutia ad circumventionem erroris

15 veritatem autem facientes in caritate crescamus in illo per omnia qui est caput Christus

16 ex quo totum corpus conpactum et conexum per omnem iuncturam subministrationis secundum operationem in mensuram uniuscuiusque membri augmentum corporis facit in aedificationem sui in caritate

17 hoc igitur dico et testificor in Domino ut iam non ambuletis sicut gentes ambulant in vanitate sensus sui

18 tenebris obscuratum habentes intellectum alienati a vita Dei per ignorantiam quae est in illis propter caecitatem cordis ipsorum

19 qui desperantes semet ipsos tradiderunt inpudicitiae in operationem inmunditiae omnis in avaritia

20 vos autem non ita didicistis Christum

21 si tamen illum audistis et in ipso edocti estis sicut est veritas in Iesu

22 deponere vos secundum pristinam conversationem veterem hominem qui corrumpitur secundum desideria erroris

23 renovamini autem spiritu mentis vestrae

24 et induite novum hominem qui secundum Deum creatus est in iustitia et sanctitate veritatis

25 propter quod deponentes mendacium loquimini veritatem unusquisque cum proximo suo quoniam sumus invicem membra

26 irascimini et nolite peccare sol non occidat super iracundiam vestram

27 nolite locum dare diabolo

28 qui furabatur iam non furetur magis autem laboret operando manibus quod bonum est ut habeat unde tribuat necessitatem patienti

29 omnis sermo malus ex ore vestro non procedat sed si quis bonus ad aedificationem oportunitatis ut det gratiam audientibus

30 et nolite contristare Spiritum Sanctum Dei in quo signati estis in die redemptionis

31 omnis amaritudo et ira et indignatio et clamor et blasphemia tollatur a vobis cum omni malitia

32 estote autem invicem benigni misericordes donantes invicem sicut et Deus in Christo donavit nobis
