1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord - Kurios, beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you that you2f walk worthy of the vocation (what God calls, gifts a person to do) which you2f are called,

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit [Ruach] in the bond of peace.

4 [There is] one body, and one Spirit [Ruach], even as you2f are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord - Kurios, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God-The Father 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 Moshiach [Messiah].

8 For what reason he says, 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 Moshiach [Messiah]:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God-The Father, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Moshiach [Messiah]:

14 That we [from this time forth (from now on)] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery (entrapment by deceit) of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

15 But speaking the tin love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Moshiach [Messiah]:

16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord - Kurios, that you2f from this time forth (from now on) walk not as other Goyim [Gentiles] walk, in the vanity of their mind,

18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God-The Father 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 (being lustful, loose or lewd; promoting lustful desires in others), to work all uncleanness with greediness.

20 But you2f have not so learned Moshiach [Messiah];

21 If so be that you2f have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the tis in Yeshua [God is Salvation]:

22 That you2f put off concerning the former Conversation (behavior; way of life; community) the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the Spirit [Ruach] of your mind;

24 And that you2f put on the new man, which after God-The Father is created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 For what reason putting away lying, speak every man twith his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be you2f 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 needs.

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 [Ruach] of God-The Father, whereby you2f are sealed unto the day of redemption.

31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and yelling (loud complaining), and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:

32 And be you2f kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God-The Father for Moshiach [Messiah]’s sake has forgiven you.
