Efesolaiskirje:
4:1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:13 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:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:14 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;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:16 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.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:18 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:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:27 Neither give place to the devil.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:28 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.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:29 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.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
> Jakeen lisätiedot
4:32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
> Jakeen lisätiedot
