1I, therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling you have received,

2with all humility and gentleness, with patience, accepting one another in love,

3diligently keeping the unity of the Spirit with the peace that binds us .

4There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope at your calling;

5one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all.

7Now grace was given to each one of us according to the measure of the Messiah's gift.

8For it says: When He ascended on high, He took prisoners into captivity; He gave gifts to people.

9But what does "He ascended" mean except that He descended to the lower parts of the earth?

10The One who descended is the same as the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.

11And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,

12for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ,

13until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of God's Son, growing into a mature man with a stature measured by Christ's fullness.

14Then we will no longer be little children, tossed by the waves and blown around by every wind of teaching, by human cunning with cleverness in the techniques of deceit.

15But speaking the truth in love, let us grow in every way into Him who is the head--Christ.

16From Him the whole body, fitted and knit together by every supporting ligament, promotes the growth of the body for building up itself in love by the proper working of each individual part.

17Therefore, I say this and testify in the Lord: You should no longer walk as the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their thoughts.

18They are darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them and because of the hardness of their hearts.

19They became callous and gave themselves over to promiscuity for the practice of every kind of impurity with a desire for more and more.

20But that is not how you learned about the Messiah,

21assuming you heard Him and were taught by Him, because the truth is in Jesus:

22you took off your former way of life, the old man that is corrupted by deceitful desires;

23you are being renewed in the spirit of your minds;

24you put on the new man, the one created according to God's likeness in righteousness and purity of the truth.

25Since you put away lying, Speak the truth, each one to his neighbor, because we are members of one another.

26Be angry and do not sin. Don't let the sun go down on your anger,

27and don't give the Devil an opportunity.

28The thief must no longer steal. Instead, he must do honest work with his own hands, so that he has something to share with anyone in need.

29No rotten talk should come from your mouth, but only what is good for the building up of someone in need, in order to give grace to those who hear.

30And don't grieve God's Holy Spirit, who sealed you for the day of redemption.

31All bitterness, anger and wrath, insult and slander must be removed from you, along with all wickedness.

32And be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving one another, just as God also forgave you in Christ.
