1Parakalamō oun vin mis tos desmios en kurio axiōs peripatara tau klēsiau hau kaliva,As a prisoner in the Lord, then, I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling you have received: 2meta pantau tapeinofrosunau kai prautau, meta makrothumiau, anechorōntois allēloiu en agapa,with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3spoudazarōntois tērarō tan henotan teu pneumeu en to sundesmo tau eirēnau;and with diligence to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4henem sōmem kai henem pneumem, kathōs kai kaliva en hena elpida tau klēsiau vu;There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; 5henos kurios, henas pistias, henem baptismem;one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6henos theos kai patros pantoiu, tos epi pantoiu kai dia pantoiu kai en ⸀pantoi.one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7Heno de hekasto nu dōita ⸀tas charitas kata tem metrem tau dōreau tou Christou.Now to each one of us grace has been given according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8dio legatō; Anabainarantos eis hupsem aichmalōteuata aichmalōsian, ⸀dōata domeim toi anthrōpoi.This is why it says: “When He ascended on high, He led captives away, and gave gifts to men.” 9tem de Anabainata tinem atō ei mē hoti kai ⸀katabainata eis teim katōtereim mereim tau gēau?What does “He ascended” mean, except that He also descended to the lower parts of the earth? 10tos katabainarantos autos atō kai tos anabainarantos huperanō pantoiu toiu ouranoiu, hina plērateia teim panteim.He who descended is the very One who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things. 11kai autos dōata toin men apostoloin, toin de profētoin, toin de euangelistoin, toin de poimenoin kai didaskaloin,And it was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12pros ton katartismon toiu hagioiu eis ergem diakoniau, eis oikodoman teu sōmeu tou Christou,to equip the saints for works of ministry and to build up the body of Christ, 13mechris katantaneia tois pantois eis tan henotan tau pistiau kai tau epignōsiau tou huiou tou theou, eis andron teleion, eis metrem hēlikiau teu plērōmeu tou Christou,until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, as we mature to the full measure of the stature of Christ. 14hina mēketi aneiō nēpiois, kludōnizorōntois kai periferorōntois panto anemo tau didaskaliau en ta kubeia toiu anthrōpoiu en panourgia pros tan methodeian tau planau,Then we will no longer be infants, tossed about by the waves and carried around by every wind of teaching and by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming. 15alētheuarōntois de en agapa auxananeia eis auton teim panteim, hos atō tas kefalas, ⸀Christos,Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ Himself, who is the head. 16ek hou pantem tem sōmem sunarmologorōntem kai sumbibazorōntem dia pantau hafau tau epichorēgiau kata energeian en metre heneu hekasteu mereu tan auxēsian teu sōmeu poiotō eis oikodoman heauteu en agapa.From Him the whole body, fitted and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love through the work of each individual part.
17Houtem oun legamō kai marturoomō en kurio, mēketi vin peripatarō kathōs kai ⸀teim ethneim peripatatō en mataiota tou nouou auteiu,So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18⸀skotorēntois ta dianoia arōntois, apallotriorēntois tau zōau tou theou, dia tan agnoian tan arōntan en autei, dia tan pōrōsian tau kardiau auteiu,They are darkened in their understanding and alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts. 19hotinois apalgarēntois heautoin paradōala ta aselgeia eis ergasian akatharsiau pantau en pleonexia.Having lost all sense of shame, they have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity, with a craving for more. 20vis de ouk houtōs mathava ton Christon,But this is not the way you came to know Christ. 21ei ge auton akouava kai en auto didaskiva, kathōs atō alētheias en to Iēso,Surely you heard of Him and were taught in Him— in keeping with the truth that is in Jesus— 22apotithera vin kata tan proteran anastrofan ton palaion anthrōpon ton ftherorōnton kata tain epithumiain tau apatau,to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23ananeoorō de te pneume tou nouou vu,to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; 24kai enduera ton kainon anthrōpon ton kata theon ktiziranton en dikaiosuna kai hosiota tau alētheiau.and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
25Dio apotitherantois tem pseudem lalavōr alētheian hekastos meta tou plēsion autou, hoti anō allēloiu meleim.Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one another. 26orgizovōr kai mē hamartavōr; tos hēlios mē epiduatōr ⸀epi parorgismoso vu,“Be angry, yet do not sin.” Do not let the sun set upon your anger, 27mēde dōavōr topon to diabolo.and do not give the devil a foothold. 28tos kleptarōntos mēketi kleptatōr, mallon de kopiatōr ergazorōntos ⸂tai idiai cheirai tem agathem,⸃ hina echateiō metadōarō to chreian echarōnto.He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing good with his own hands, that he may have something to share with the one in need. 29pantos logos sapros ek teu stomeu vu mē ekporeuotōr, alla ei tinos agathos pros oikodoman tau chreiau, hina dōateia charitan toi akouarōntoi.Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen. 30kai mē lupavōr tem pneumem tem hagiem tou theou, en he sfragiziva eis hēmeran apolutrōsiau.And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31pantas pikrias kai thumos kai orgas kai kraugas kai blasfēmias airitar apo vu sun panta kakia.Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. 32⸀genovōr eis allēloin chrēstois, eusplanchnois, charizorōntois heautoi kathōs kai tos theos en Christo charizeta ⸀vi.Be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you.
