以弗所書

第4章

1 所以[therefore],我為主被囚的勸你們:既然蒙召,行事為人就當與蒙召的[vocation]相稱,

2 凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐,用愛心互相寬容,

3 用和平彼此聯絡,竭力保守蒙靈[of the Spirit]所賜合而為一的心。

4 身體只有一個,[Spirit]只有一個,正如你們蒙召同有一個盼望[hope]

5 一主,一信,一浸,

6 一神,就是眾人的父,超乎眾人之上,貫乎眾人之中,也住在你們[you]眾人之內。

7 我們各人蒙恩,都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜。

8 所以經上說:「他升上高天的時候,擄掠了仇敵,將各樣的恩賜賞給人。」

9 (既說升上,豈不是先降到地底下[lower parts of the earth]嗎?

10 那降下的,就是遠升諸天之上要充滿一切[all things]的。)

11 他所賜的,有使徒,有先知,有傳福音的,有牧師和教師,

12 為要成全聖徒,各盡其職,造就[edifying]基督的身體,

13 直等到我們眾人在信仰[faith]上同歸於一,認識神的兒子,得以成為完全人[unto perfect man],滿有基督長成的身量,

14 使我們不再作小孩子,中了人埋伏要迷惑人[whereby they lie in wait to deceive]手法[sleight]乖巧的詭計[cunning craftiness],被一切異[doctrine]之風搖動,飄來飄去;

15 唯用愛心說真理[the truth],凡事長進,連於元首基督。

16 全身都靠他聯絡得合式,百節各按各職,照著各體的功用彼此相助,便叫身體漸漸增長,在愛中造就[edifying]自己。

17 所以我說,且在主裏作見證[testify],你們行事不要再像別的[other]外邦人存虛妄的心行事。

18 他們心地昏昧,與神所賜的生命隔絕了,都因自己無知,瞎了心眼[blindness of their heart]

19 良心既然喪盡,就放縱私慾,貪行種種的污穢。

20 你們學了基督,卻不是這樣。

21 如果你們聽過耶穌[Jesus]的道,領了他的教,學了他的真理,

22 就要脫去你們從前行為上的舊人,這舊人是因私慾的迷惑而敗壞的[corrupt according to the deceitful lusts]

23 又要將你們屬靈[in the spirit]的心志改換一新,

24 並且穿上新人,這新人是照著神的形像創造[created]的,有公義[righteousness]真正的[true]聖潔。

25 所以你們要棄絕謊言,各人與鄰居說實話,因為我們是互相為肢體。

26 生氣卻不要犯罪;不可含怒到日落,

27 也不可給魔鬼留地步。

28 從前偷竊的,不要再偷;總要勞力,親手作正經事,就可有餘分給那缺少的人。

29 污穢的言語一句不可出口,只要隨事說造就人的好話,叫聽見的人得益處。

30 不要叫神的聖靈擔憂;你們原是受了他的印記,等候得贖的日子來到。

31 一切苦毒、惱恨、忿怒、嚷鬧、毀謗,並一切的惡毒[malice],都當從你們中間除掉;

32 並要以恩慈相待,存憐憫的心,彼此饒恕,正如神在基督裏饒恕了你們一樣。

Chapter 4

1 I therefore,3767 the prisoner1198 of the Lord,2962 beseech3870 you that you walk4043 worthy516 of the vocation2821 with which3739 you are called,2564

2 With all3956 lowliness5012 and meekness,4236 with long-suffering,3115 forbearing430 one240 another240 in love;26

3 Endeavoring4704 to keep5083 the unity1775 of the Spirit4151 in the bond4886 of peace.1515

4 There is one1520 body,4983 and one1520 Spirit,4151 even2532 as you are called2564 in one3391 hope1680 of your5216 calling;2821

5 One1520 Lord,2962 one1520 faith,4102 one3391 baptism,908

6 One1520 God2316 and Father3962 of all,3956 who3588 is above1909 all,3956 and through1223 all,3956 and in you all.3956

7 But to every1538 one1520 of us is given1325 grace5485 according2596 to the measure3358 of the gift1431 of Christ.5547

8 Why1352 he said,3004 When he ascended305 up on5311 high,5311 he led162 captivity161 captive,162 and gave1325 gifts1390 to men.444

9 (Now1161 that he ascended,305 what5101 is it but that he also2532 descended2597 first4412 into1519 the lower2737 parts3313 of the earth?1093

10 He that descended2597 is the same846 also2532 that ascended305 up far5231 above5231 all3956 heavens,3772 that he might fill4137 all3956 things.)

11 And he gave1325 some,3588 apostles;652 and some,3588 prophets;4396 and some,3588 evangelists;2099 and some,3588 pastors4166 and teachers;1320

12 For the perfecting2677 of the saints,40 for the work2041 of the ministry,1248 for the edifying3619 of the body4983 of Christ:5547

13 Till3360 we all3956 come2658 in the unity1775 of the faith,4102 and of the knowledge1922 of the Son5207 of God,2316 to a perfect5046 man,435 to the measure3358 of the stature2244 of the fullness4138 of Christ:5547

14 That we from now on3063 be no3371 more2001 children,3516 tossed2831 to and fro,2831 and carried4064 about4064 with every3956 wind417 of doctrine,1319 by the sleight2940 of men,444 and cunning craftiness,3834 whereby4314 they lie3180 in wait3180 to deceive;4106

15 But speaking226 the truth226 in love,26 may grow837 up into1519 him in all3956 things, which3739 is the head,2776 even Christ:5547

16 From whom3739 the whole3956 body4983 fitly4883 joined4883 together4883 and compacted4822 by that which every3956 joint860 supplies,2024 according2596 to the effectual1753 working1753 in the measure3358 of every1520 1538 part,3313 makes4160 increase838 of the body4983 to the edifying3619 of itself1438 in love.26

17 This5124 I say3004 therefore,3767 and testify3143 in the Lord,2962 that you from now on3371 walk4043 not as other3062 Gentiles1484 walk,4043 in the vanity3153 of their mind,3563

18 Having the understanding1271 darkened,4654 being5607 alienated526 from the life2222 of God2316 through1223 the ignorance52 that is in them, because1223 of the blindness4457 of their heart:2588

19 Who3748 being past524 feeling524 have given3860 themselves1438 over3860 to lasciviousness,766 to work2039 all3956 uncleanness167 with greediness.4124

20 But you have not so3779 learned3129 Christ;5547

21 If1489 so3779 be that you have heard191 him, and have been taught1321 by him, as the truth225 is in Jesus:2424

22 That you put659 off659 concerning2596 the former4387 conversation391 the old3820 man,444 which3588 is corrupt5351 according2596 to the deceitful539 lusts;1939

23 And be renewed365 in the spirit4151 of your5216 mind;3563

24 And that you put1746 on1746 the new2537 man,444 which3588 after2596 God2316 is created2936 in righteousness1343 and true3588 225 holiness.3742

25 Why1352 putting659 away659 lying,5579 speak2980 every1520 1538 man truth226 with his neighbor:4139 for we are members3196 one240 of another.240

26 Be you angry,3710 and sin264 not: let not the sun2246 go1931 down1931 on your5216 wrath:3950

27 Neither3383 give1325 place5117 to the devil.1228

28 Let him that stole2813 steal2813 no3371 more:2001 but rather3123 let him labor,2872 working2038 with his hands5495 the thing which is good,18 that he may have2192 to give3330 to him that needs.5532

29 Let no3956 3361 corrupt4550 communication3056 proceed1607 out of your5216 mouth,4750 but that which1536 is good18 to the use5532 of edifying,3619 that it may minister1325 grace5485 to the hearers.191

30 And grieve3076 not the holy40 Spirit4151 of God,2316 whereby1722 3739 you are sealed4972 to the day2250 of redemption.629

31 Let all3956 bitterness,4088 and wrath,2372 and anger,3709 and clamor,2906 and evil988 speaking,988 be put142 away from you, with all3956 malice:2549

32 And be you kind5543 one240 to another,240 tenderhearted,2155 forgiving5483 one1438 another,1438 even2532 as God2316 for Christ's5547 sake1722 has forgiven5483 you.
