I
therefore,
the
prisoner
of
the
Lord,
beseech
you
that
ye
walk
worthy
of
the
vocation
wherewith
ye
are
called,
2
With
all
lowliness
and
meekness,
with
longsuffering,
forbearing
one
another
in
love;
3
Endeavouring
to
keep
the
unity
of
the
Spirit
in
the
bond
of
peace.
4
[There
is]
one
body,
and
one
Spirit,
even
as
ye
are
called
in
one
hope
of
your
calling;
5
One
Lord,
one
faith,
one
baptism,
6
One
God
and
Father
of
all,
who
[is]
above
all,
and
through
all,
and
in
you
all.
7
But
unto
every
one
of
us
is
given
grace
according
to
the
measure
of
the
gift
of
Christ.
8
Wherefore
he
saith,
When
he
ascended
up
on
high,
he
led
captivity
captive,
and
gave
gifts
unto
men.
9
(Now
that
he
ascended,
what
is
it
but
that
he
also
descended
first
into
the
lower
parts
of
the
earth?
10
He
that
descended
is
the
same
also
that
ascended
up
far
above
all
heavens,
that
he
might
fill
all
things.)
11
And
he
gave
some,
apostles;
and
some,
prophets;
and
some,
evangelists;
and
some,
pastors
and
teachers;
12
For
the
perfecting
of
the
saints,
for
the
work
of
the
ministry,
for
the
edifying
of
the
body
of
Christ:
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:
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;
15
But
speaking
the
truth
in
love,
may
grow
up
into
him
in
all
things,
which
is
the
head,
[even]
Christ:
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.
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,
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:
19
Who
being
past
feeling
have
given
themselves
over
unto
lasciviousness,
to
work
all
uncleanness
with
greediness.
20
But
ye
have
not
so
learned
Christ;
21
If
so
be
that
ye
have
heard
him,
and
have
been
taught
by
him,
as
the
truth
is
in
Jesus:
22
That
ye
put
off
concerning
the
former
conversation
the
old
man,
which
is
corrupt
according
to
the
deceitful
lusts;
23
And
be
renewed
in
the
spirit
of
your
mind;
24
And
that
ye
put
on
the
new
man,
which
after
God
is
created
in
righteousness
and
true
holiness.
25
Wherefore
putting
away
lying,
speak
every
man
truth
with
his
neighbour:
for
we
are
members
one
of
another.
26
Be
ye
angry,
and
sin
not:
let
not
the
sun
go
down
upon
your
wrath:
27
Neither
give
place
to
the
devil.
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.
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.
30
And
grieve
not
the
holy
Spirit
of
God,
whereby
ye
are
sealed
unto
the
day
of
redemption.
31
Let
all
bitterness,
and
wrath,
and
anger,
and
clamour,
and
evil
speaking,
be
put
away
from
you,
with
all
malice:
32
And
be
ye
kind
one
to
another,
tenderhearted,
forgiving
one
another,
even
as
God
for
Christ’s
sake
hath
forgiven
you.
