01:01 Paul <3972-Paulos->, an apostle <0652-apostolos-> of Jesus

<2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> by the will <2307-thelema-

ho-> are at <1722-en-> Ephesus <2181-Ephesos->, and to the

faithful <4103-pistos-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-

Iesous->:

01:02 Grace <5485-charis-> [be] to you, and peace <1515-eirene->,

from God <2316-theos-> our Father <3962-pater->, and [from] the

Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.

01:03 Blessed <2128-eulogetos-> [be] the God <2316-theos-> and

Father <3962-pater-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-

Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, who <3588-ho-> hath blessed

<2127-eulogeo-> us with all <3956-pas-> spiritual <4152-

pneumatikos-> blessings <2129-eulogia-> in heavenly <2032-

epouranios-> [places] in rist <5547-Christos->:

01:04 According <2531-kathos-> as he hath chosen <1586-eklegomai-

> us in him before <4253-pro-> the foundation <2602-katabole->

of the world <2889-kosmos->, that we should be holy <0040-hagios-

> and without <0299-amomos-> blame <0299-amomos-> before <2714-

katenopion-> him in love <0026-agape->:

01:05 Having predestinated <4309-proorizo-> us unto the adoption

<5206-huiothesia-> of children <5206-huiothesia-> by Jesus <2424-

Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos-> to himself <0848-hautou->,

according <2596-kata-> to the good pleasure <2107-eudokia-> of

his will <2307-thelema->,

01:06 To the praise <1868-epainos-> of the glory <1391-doxa-> of

his grace <5485-charis->, wherein <3757-hou-> he hath made <5487-

charitoo-> us accepted <5487-charitoo-> in the beloved <0025-

agapao->.

01:07 In whom <3739-hos-> we have <2192-echo-> redemption <0629-

apolutrosis-> through <1223-dia-> his blood <0129-haima->, the

forgiveness <0859-aphesis-> of sins <3900-paraptoma->, according

<2596-kata-> to the riches <4149-ploutos-> of his grace <5485-

charis->;

01:08 Wherein <3757-hou-> he hath abounded <4052-perisseuo->

toward <1519-eis-> us in all <3956-pas-> wisdom <4678-sophia->

and prudence <5428-phronesis->;

01:09 Having made <1107-gnorizo-> known <1107-gnorizo-> unto us

the mystery <3466-musterion-> of his will <2307-thelema->,

according <2596-kata-> to his good pleasure <2107-eudokia->

which <3739-hos-> he hath purposed <4388-protithemai-> in

himself <0848-hautou->:

01:10 That in the dispensation <3622-oikonomia-> of the fulness

<4138-pleroma-> of times <2540-kairos-> he might gather <0346-

anakephalaiomai-> together <0346-anakephalaiomai-> in one all

<3956-pas-> things in Christ <5547-Christos->, both <5037-te->

which <3588-ho-> are in heaven <3772-ouranos->, and which <3588-

ho-> are on <1909-epi-> earth <1093-ge->; [even] in him:

01:11 In whom <3739-hos-> also <2532-kai-> we have obtained

<2820-kleroo-> an inheritance <2820-kleroo->, being

predestinated <4309-proorizo-> according <2596-kata-> to the

purpose <4286-prothesis-> of him who worketh <1754-energeo-> all

<3956-pas-> things after <2596-kata-> the counsel <1012-boule->

of his own <0848-hautou-> will <2307-thelema->:

01:12 That we should be to the praise <1868-epainos-> of his

glory <1391-doxa->, who <3588-ho-> first <4276-proelpizo->

trusted <4276-proelpizo-> in Christ <5547-Christos->.

01:13 In whom <3739-hos-> ye also <2532-kai-> [trusted], after

that ye heard <0191-akouo-> the word <4487-rhema-> of truth

<0225-aletheia->, the gospel <2098-euaggelion-> of your <5216-

humon-> salvation <4991-soteria->: in whom <3739-hos-> also

<2532-kai-> after that ye believed <4100-pisteuo->, ye were

sealed <4972-sphragizo-> with that holy <0040-hagios-> Spirit

<4151-pneuma-> of promise <1860-epaggelia->,

01:14 Which <3739-hos-> is the earnest <0728-arrhabon-> of our

inheritance <2817-kleronomia-> until <1519-eis-> the redemption

<0629-apolutrosis-> of the purchased <4047-peripoiesis->

possession <4047-peripoiesis->, unto the praise <1868-epainos->

of his glory <1391-doxa->.

01:15 Wherefore <5124-touto-> I also <2504-kago->, after I heard

<0191-akouo-> of your <5209-humas-> faith <4102-pistis-> in the

Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->, and love <0026-agape->

unto all <3956-pas-> the saints <0040-hagios->,

01:16 Cease <3973-pauo-> not to give thanks <2168-eucharisteo->

for you, making <4160-poieo-> mention <3417-mneia-> of you in my

prayers <4335-proseuche->;

01:17 That the God <2316-theos-> of our Lord <2962-kurios->

Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->, the Father <3962-

pater-> of glory <1391-doxa->, may give <1325-didomi-> unto you

the spirit <4151-pneuma-> of wisdom <4678-sophia-> and

revelation <0602-apokalupsis-> in the knowledge <1922-epignosis-

> of him:

01:18 The eyes <3788-ophthalmos-> of your <5216-humon->

understanding <1271-dianoia-> being enlightened <5461-photizo->;

that ye may know <1492-eido-> what <5101-tis-> is the hope <1680-

elpis-> of his calling <2821-klesis->, and what <5101-tis-> the

riches <4149-ploutos-> of the glory <1391-doxa-> of his

inheritance <2817-kleronomia-> in the saints <0040-hagios->,

01:19 And what <5101-tis-> [is] the exceeding <5235-huperballo->

greatness <3174-megethos-> of his power <1411-dunamis-> to us-

ward <2248-hemas-> who <3588-ho-> believe <4100-pisteuo->,

according <2596-kata-> to the working <1753-energeia-> of his

mighty <2479-ischus-> power <2904-kratos->,

01:20 Which <3739-hos-> he wrought <1754-energeo-> in Christ

<5547-Christos->, when he raised <1453-egeiro-> him from the

dead <3498-nekros->, and set <2523-kathizo-> [him] at <1722-en->

his own <0848-hautou-> right <1188-dexios-> hand in the heavenly

<2032-epouranios-> [places],

01:21 Far <5231-huperano-> above <5231-huperano-> all <3956-pas-

> principality <0746-arche->, and power <1849-exousia->, and

might <1411-dunamis->, and dominion <2963-kuriotes->, and every

<3956-pas-> name <3686-onoma-> that is named <3687-onomazo->,

not only <3440-monon-> in this <3588-ho-> world <0165-aion->,

but also <2532-kai-> in that which is to come <3195-mello->:

01:22 And hath put <5293-hupotasso-> all <3956-pas-> [things]

under <5259-hupo-> his feet <4228-pous->, and gave <1325-didomi-

> him [to be] the head <2776-kephale-> over <5228-huper-> all

<3956-pas-> [things] to the church <1577-ekklesia->,

01:23 Which <3748-hostis-> is his body <4983-soma->, the fulness

<4138-pleroma-> of him that filleth <4137-pleroo-> all <3956-pas-

> in all <3956-pas->.

02:01 And you [hath he quickened], who were dead <3498-nekros->

in trespasses <3900-paraptoma-> and sins <0266-hamartia->;

02:02 Wherein <3757-hou-> in time <4218-pote-> past ye walked

<4043-peripateo-> according <2596-kata-> to the course <0165-

aion-> of this <5127-toutou-> world <2889-kosmos->, according

<2596-kata-> to the prince <0758-archon-> of the power <1849-

exousia-> of the air <0109-aer->, the spirit <4151-pneuma-> that

now <3568-nun-> worketh <1754-energeo-> in the children <5207-

huios-> of disobedience <0543-apeitheia->:

02:03 Among <1722-en-> whom <3739-hos-> also <2532-kai-> we all

<3956-pas-> had our conversation <0390-anastrepho-> in times

<4218-pote-> past in the lusts <1939-epithumia-> of our flesh

<4561-sarx->, fulfilling <4160-poieo-> the desires <2307-thelema-

> of the flesh <4561-sarx-> and of the mind <1271-dianoia->; and

were by nature <5449-phusis-> the children <5043-teknon-> of

wrath <3709-orge->, even <2532-kai-> as others <3062-loipoy->.

02:04 But God <2316-theos->, who is rich <4145-plousios-> in

mercy <1656-eleos->, for his great <4183-polus-> love <0026-

agape-> wherewith <3739-hos-> he loved <0025-agapao-> us,

02:05 Even <2532-kai-> when we were dead <3498-nekros-> in sins

<3900-paraptoma->, hath quickened <4806-suzoopoieo-> us together

<4806-suzoopoieo-> with Christ <5547-Christos->, (by grace <5485-

charis-> ye are saved <4982-sozo->;)

02:06 And hath raised <4891-sunegeiro-> [us] up together <4891-

sunegeiro->, and made <4776-sugkathizo-> [us] sit <4776-

sugkathizo-> together <4776-sugkathizo-> in heavenly <2032-

epouranios-> [places] in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-

Iesous->:

02:07 That in the ages <0165-aion-> to come <1904-eperchomai->

he might shew <1731-endeiknumi-> the exceeding <5235-huperballo-

> riches <4149-ploutos-> of his grace <5485-charis-> in [his]

kindness <5544-chrestotes-> toward <1909-epi-> us through <1722-

en-> Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->.

02:08 For by grace <5485-charis-> are ye saved <4982-sozo->

through <1223-dia-> faith <4102-pistis->; and that not of

yourselves <5216-humon->: [it is] the gift <1435-doron-> of God

<2316-theos->:

02:09 Not of works <2041-ergon->, lest <3361-me-> any <5100-tis-

> man should boast <2744-kauchaomai->.

02:10 For we are his workmanship <4161-poiema->, created <2936-

ktizo-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> unto

good <0018-agathos-> works <2041-ergon->, which <3739-hos-> God

<2316-theos-> hath before <4282-proetoimazo-> ordained <4282-

proetoimazo-> that we should walk <4043-peripateo-> in them.

02:11 Wherefore <1352-dio-> remember <3421-mnemoneuo->, that ye

[being] in time <4218-pote-> past Gentiles <1484-ethnos-> in the

flesh <4561-sarx->, who <3588-ho-> are called <3004-lego->

Uncircumcision <0203-akrobustia-> by that which <3588-ho-> is

called <3004-lego-> the Circumcision <4061-peritome-> in the

flesh <4561-sarx-> made <5499-cheiropoietos-> by hands <5499-

cheiropoietos->;

02:12 That at <1722-en-> that time <2540-kairos-> ye were

without <5565-choris-> Christ <5547-Christos->, being aliens

<0526-apallotrioo-> from the commonwealth <4174-politeia-> of

Israel <2474-Israel->, and strangers <3581-xenos-> from the

covenants <1242-diatheke-> of promise <1860-epaggelia->, having

<2192-echo-> no <3361-me-> hope <1680-elpis->, and without <0112-

atheos-> God <0112-atheos-> in the world <2889-kosmos->:

02:13 But now <3570-nuni-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus

<2424-Iesous-> ye who <3739-hos-> sometimes <4218-pote-> were

far <3112-makran-> off <3112-makran-> are made <1096-ginomai->

nigh <1451-eggus-> by the blood <0129-haima-> of Christ <5547-

Christos->.

02:14 For he is our peace <1515-eirene->, who <3739-hos-> hath

made <4160-poieo-> both <0297-amphoteros-> one <1520-heis->, and

hath broken <3089-luo-> down the middle <3320-mesotoichon-> wall

of partition <5418-phragmos-> [between us];

02:15 Having abolished <2673-katargeo-> in his flesh <4561-sarx-

> the enmity <2189-echthra->, [even] the law <3551-nomos-> of

commandments <1785-entole-> [contained] in ordinances <1378-

dogma->; for to make <2936-ktizo-> in himself <1438-heautou-> of

twain <1417-duo-> one <1520-heis-> new <2537-kainos-> man <0444-

anthropos->, [so] making <4160-poieo-> peace <1515-eirene->;

02:16 And that he might reconcile <0604-apokatallasso-> both

<0297-amphoteros-> unto God <2316-theos-> in one <1520-heis->

body <4983-soma-> by the cross <4716-stauros->, having slain

<0615-apokteino-> the enmity <2189-echthra-> thereby <0846-autos-

02:17 And came <2064-erchomai-> and preached <2097-euaggelizo->

peace <1515-eirene-> to you which <3588-ho-> were afar <3112-

makran-> off, and to them that were nigh <1451-eggus->.

02:18 For through <1223-dia-> him we both <0297-amphoteros->

have <2192-echo-> access <4318-prosagoge-> by one <1520-heis->

Spirit <4151-pneuma-> unto the Father <3962-pater->.

02:19 Now <3767-oun-> therefore <0686-ara-> ye are no <3765-

ouketi-> more <3765-ouketi-> strangers <3581-xenos-> and

foreigners <3941-paroikos->, but fellowcitizens <4847-sumpolites-

> with the saints <0040-hagios->, and of the household <3609-

oikeios-> of God <2316-theos->;

02:20 And are built <2026-epoikodomeo-> upon the foundation

<2310-themelios-> of the apostles <0652-apostolos-> and prophets

<4396-prophetes->, Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->

himself <0848-hautou-> being <5607-on-> the chief <0204-

akrogoniaios-> corner <0204-akrogoniaios-> [stone];

02:21 In whom <3739-hos-> all <3956-pas-> the building <3619-

oikodome-> fitly <4883-sunarmologeo-> framed <4883-sunarmologeo-

> together <4883-sunarmologeo-> groweth <0837-auzano-> unto an

holy <0040-hagios-> temple <3485-naos-> in the Lord <2962-kurios-

02:22 In whom <3739-hos-> ye also <2532-kai-> are builded <4925-

sunoikodomeo-> together <4925-sunoikodomeo-> for an habitation

<2732-katoiketerion-> of God <2316-theos-> through <1722-en->

the Spirit <4151-pneuma->.

03:01 For this <5127-toutou-> cause <5484-charin-> I Paul <3972-

Paulos->, the prisoner <1198-desmios-> of Jesus <2424-Iesous->

Christ <5547-Christos-> for you Gentiles <1484-ethnos->,

03:02 If <1489-eige-> ye have heard <0191-akouo-> of the

dispensation <3622-oikonomia-> of the grace <5485-charis-> of

God <2316-theos-> which <3588-ho-> is given <1325-didomi-> me to

you-ward <5209-humas->:

03:03 How that by revelation <0602-apokalupsis-> he made <1107-

gnorizo-> known <1107-gnorizo-> unto me the mystery <3466-

musterion->; (as I wrote <4270-prographo-> afore <4270-prographo-

> in few <3641-oligos-> words,

03:04 Whereby <3739-hos->, when ye read <0314-anaginosko->, ye

may <1410-dunamai-> understand <3539-noieo-> my knowledge <4907-

sunesis-> in the mystery <3466-musterion-> of Christ <5547-

Christos->)

03:05 Which <3739-hos-> in other <2087-heteros-> ages <1074-

genea-> was not made <1107-gnorizo-> known <1107-gnorizo-> unto

the sons <5207-huios-> of men <0444-anthropos->, as it is now

<3568-nun-> revealed <0601-apokalupto-> unto his holy <0040-

hagios-> apostles <0652-apostolos-> and prophets <4396-prophetes-

> by the Spirit <4151-pneuma->;

03:06 That the Gentiles <1484-ethnos-> should be fellowheirs

<4789-sugkleronomos->, and of the same <4954-sussomos-> body

<4954-sussomos->, and partakers <4830-summetochos-> of his

promise <1860-epaggelia-> in Christ <5547-Christos-> by the

gospel <2098-euaggelion->:

03:07 Whereof <3739-hos-> I was made <1096-ginomai-> a minister

<1249-diakonos->, according <2596-kata-> to the gift <1431-dorea-

> of the grace <5485-charis-> of God <2316-theos-> given <1325-

didomi-> unto me by the effectual <1753-energeia-> working <1753-

energeia-> of his power <1411-dunamis->.

03:08 Unto me, who am less <1647-elachistoteros-> than the least

<1647-elachistoteros-> of all <3956-pas-> saints <0040-hagios->,

is this <3778-houtos-> grace <5485-charis-> given <1325-didomi->,

that I should preach <2097-euaggelizo-> among <1722-en-> the

Gentiles <1484-ethnos-> the unsearchable <0421-anexichniastos->

riches <4149-ploutos-> of Christ <5547-Christos->;

03:09 And to make <5461-photizo-> all <3956-pas-> [men] see

<5461-photizo-> what <5101-tis-> [is] the fellowship <2842-

koinonia-> of the mystery <3466-musterion->, which <3588-ho->

from the beginning of the world <0165-aion-> hath been hid <0613-

apokrupto-> in God <2316-theos->, who <3588-ho-> created <2936-

ktizo-> all <3956-pas-> things by Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ

<5547-Christos->:

03:10 To the intent <2443-hina-> that now <3568-nun-> unto the

principalities <0746-arche-> and powers <1849-exousia-> in

heavenly <2032-epouranios-> [places] might be known <1107-

gnorizo-> by the church <1577-ekklesia-> the manifold <4182-

polupoikilos-> wisdom <4678-sophia-> of God <2316-theos->,

03:11 According <2596-kata-> to the eternal <0165-aion-> purpose

<4286-prothesis-> which <3739-hos-> he purposed <4160-poieo-> in

Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> our Lord <2962-

kurios->:

03:12 In whom <3739-hos-> we have <2192-echo-> boldness <3954-

parrhesia-> and access <4318-prosagoge-> with confidence <4006-

pepoithesis-> by the faith <4102-pistis-> of him.

03:13 Wherefore <1352-dio-> I desire <0154-aiteo-> that ye faint

<1573-ekkakeo-> not at <1722-en-> my tribulations <2347-thlipsis-

> for you, which <3748-hostis-> is your glory <1391-doxa->.

03:14 For this <5127-toutou-> cause <5484-charin-> I bow <2578-

kampto-> my knees <1119-gonu-> unto the Father <3962-pater-> of

our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-

Christos->,

03:15 Of whom <3739-hos-> the whole <3956-pas-> family <3965-

patria-> in heaven <3772-ouranos-> and earth <1093-ge-> is named

<3687-onomazo->,

03:16 That he would grant <1325-didomi-> you, according <2596-

kata-> to the riches <4149-ploutos-> of his glory <1391-doxa->,

to be strengthened <2901-krataioo-> with might <1411-dunamis->

by his Spirit <4151-pneuma-> in the inner <2080-eso-> man <0444-

anthropos->;

03:17 That Christ <5547-Christos-> may dwell <2730-katoikeo-> in

your <5216-humon-> hearts <2588-kardia-> by faith <4102-pistis->;

that ye, being rooted <4492-rhizoo-> and grounded <2311-

themelioo-> in love <0026-agape->,

03:18 May be able <1840-exischuo-> to comprehend <2638-

katalambano-> with all <3956-pas-> saints <0040-hagios-> what

<5101-tis-> [is] the breadth <4114-platos->, and length <3372-

mekos->, and depth <0899-bathos->, and height <5311-hupsos->;

03:19 And to know <1097-ginosko-> the love <0026-agape-> of

Christ <5547-Christos->, which passeth <5235-huperballo->

knowledge <1108-gnosis->, that ye might be filled <4137-pleroo->

with all <3956-pas-> the fulness <4138-pleroma-> of God <2316-

theos->.

03:20 Now <1161-de-> unto him that is able <1410-dunamai-> to do

<4160-poieo-> exceeding <5228-huper-> abundantly <4053-perissos-

> above <5228-huper-> all <3956-pas-> that we ask <0154-aiteo->

or <2228-e-> think <3539-noieo->, according <2596-kata-> to the

power <1411-dunamis-> that worketh <1754-energeo-> in us,

03:21 Unto him [be] glory <1391-doxa-> in the church <1577-

ekklesia-> by Christ <5547-Christos-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->

throughout <1519-eis-> all <3956-pas-> ages <1074-genea->, world

<0165-aion-> without end <0165-aion->. Amen <0281-amen->.

04:01 I therefore <3767-oun->, the prisoner <1198-desmios-> of

the Lord <2962-kurios->, beseech <3870-parakaleo-> you that ye

walk <4043-peripateo-> worthy <0516-axios-> of the vocation

<2821-klesis-> wherewith <3739-hos-> ye are called <2564-kaleo->,

04:02 With all <3956-pas-> lowliness <5012-tapeinophrosune-> and

meekness <4236-praiotes->, with longsuffering <3115-makrothumia-

>, forbearing <0430-anechomai-> one <0240-allelon-> another

<0240-allelon-> in love <0026-agape->;

04:03 Endeavouring <4704-spoudazo-> to keep <5083-tereo-> the

unity <1775-henotes-> of the Spirit <4151-pneuma-> in the bond

<4886-sundesmos-> of peace <1515-eirene->.

04:04 [There is] one <1520-heis-> body <4983-soma->, and one

<1520-heis-> Spirit <4151-pneuma->, even <2532-kai-> as ye are

called <2564-kaleo-> in one <3391-mia-> hope <1680-elpis-> of

your <5216-humon-> calling <2821-klesis->;

04:05 One <1520-heis-> Lord <2962-kurios->, one <1520-heis->

faith <4102-pistis->, one <3391-mia-> baptism <0908-baptisma->,

04:06 One <1520-heis-> God <2316-theos-> and Father <3962-pater-

> of all <3956-pas->, who <3588-ho-> [is] above <1909-epi-> all

<3956-pas->, and through <1223-dia-> all <3956-pas->, and in you

all <3956-pas->.

04:07 But unto every <1538-hekastos-> one <1520-heis-> of us is

given <1325-didomi-> grace <5485-charis-> according <2596-kata->

to the measure <3358-metron-> of the gift <1431-dorea-> of

Christ <5547-Christos->.

04:08 Wherefore <1352-dio-> he saith <3004-lego->, When he

ascended <0305-anabaino-> up on <5311-hupsos-> high <5311-hupsos-

>, he led <0162-aichmaloteuo-> captivity <0161-aichmalosia->

captive <0162-aichmaloteuo->, and gave <1325-didomi-> gifts

<1390-doma-> unto men <0444-anthropos->.

04:09 (Now that he ascended <0305-anabaino->, what <5101-tis->

is it but that he also <2532-kai-> descended <2597-katabaino->

first <4412-proton-> into <1519-eis-> the lower <2737-katoteros-

> parts <3313-meros-> of the earth <1093-ge->?

04:10 He that descended <2597-katabaino-> is the same also <2532-

kai-> that ascended <0305-anabaino-> up far <5231-huperano->

above <5231-huperano-> all <3956-pas-> heavens <3772-ouranos->,

that he might fill <4137-pleroo-> all <3956-pas-> things.)

04:11 And he gave <1325-didomi-> some <3588-ho->, apostles <0652-

apostolos->; and some <3588-ho->, prophets <4396-prophetes->;

and some <3588-ho->, evangelists <2099-euaggelistes->; and some

<3588-ho->, pastors <4166-poimen-> and teachers <1320-didaskalos-

04:12 For the perfecting <2677-katartismos-> of the saints <0040-

hagios->, for the work <2041-ergon-> of the ministry <1248-

diakonia->, for the edifying <3619-oikodome-> of the body <4983-

soma-> of Christ <5547-Christos->:

04:13 Till <3360-mechri-> we all <3956-pas-> come <2658-katantao-

> in the unity <1775-henotes-> of the faith <4102-pistis->, and

of the knowledge <1922-epignosis-> of the Son <5207-huios-> of

God <2316-theos->, unto a perfect <5046-teleios-> man <0435-aner-

>, unto the measure <3358-metron-> of the stature <2244-helikia-

> of the fulness <4138-pleroma-> of Christ <5547-Christos->:

04:14 That we [henceforth <3063-loipon->] be no <3371-meketi->

more <2001-episucho-> children <3516-nepios->, tossed <2831-

kludonizomai-> to and fro <2831-kludonizomai->, and carried

<4064-periphero-> about <4064-periphero-> with every <3596-

hodoiporeo-> wind <0417-anemos-> of doctrine <1319-didaskalia->,

by the sleight <2940-kubeia-> of men <0444-anthropos->, [and]

cunning craftiness <3834-panourgia->, whereby <4314-pros-> they

lie <3180-methodeia-> in wait <3180-methodeia-> to deceive <4106-

plane->;

04:15 But speaking <0226-aletheuo-> the truth <0226-aletheuo->

in love <0026-agape->, may grow <0837-auzano-> up into <1519-eis-

> him in all <3956-pas-> things, which <3739-hos-> is the head

<2776-kephale->, [even] Christ <5547-Christos->:

04:16 From whom <3739-hos-> the whole <3956-pas-> body <4983-

soma-> fitly <4883-sunarmologeo-> joined <4883-sunarmologeo->

together <4883-sunarmologeo-> and compacted <4822-sumbibazo-> by

that which every <3596-hodoiporeo-> joint <0860-haphe->

supplieth <2024-epichoregia->, according <2596-kata-> to the

effectual <1753-energeia-> working <1753-energeia-> in the

measure <3358-metron-> of every <1538-hekastos-> part <3313-

meros->, maketh <4160-poieo-> increase <0838-auxesis-> of the

body <4983-soma-> unto the edifying <3619-oikodome-> of itself

<1438-heautou-> in love <0026-agape->.

04:17 This <5124-touto-> I say <3004-lego-> therefore <3767-oun-

>, and testify <3143-marturomai-> in the Lord <2962-kurios->,

that ye henceforth <3371-meketi-> walk <4043-peripateo-> not as

other <3062-loipoy-> Gentiles <1484-ethnos-> walk <4043-

peripateo->, in the vanity <3153-mataiotes-> of their mind <3563-

nous->,

04:18 Having the understanding <1271-dianoia-> darkened <4654-

skotizo->, being <5607-on-> alienated <0526-apallotrioo-> from

the life <2222-zoe-> of God <2316-theos-> through <1223-dia->

the ignorance <0052-agnoia-> that is in them, because <1223-dia-

> of the blindness <4457-porosis-> of their heart <2588-kardia->:

04:19 Who <3748-hostis-> being past <0524-apalgeo-> feeling

<0524-apalgeo-> have given <3860-paradidomi-> themselves <1438-

heautou-> over <3860-paradidomi-> unto lasciviousness <0766-

aselgeia->, to work <2039-ergasia-> all <3956-pas-> uncleanness

<0167-akatharsia-> with greediness <4124-pleonexia->.

04:20 But ye have not so <3779-houto-> learned <3129-manthano->

Christ <5547-Christos->;

04:21 If <1489-eige-> so <3779-houto-> be that ye have heard

<0191-akouo-> him, and have been taught <1321-didasko-> by him,

as the truth <0225-aletheia-> is in Jesus <2424-Iesous->:

04:22 That ye put <0659-apotithemi-> off <0659-apotithemi->

concerning <2596-kata-> the former <4387-proteros-> conversation

<0391-anastrophe-> the old <3820-palaios-> man <0444-anthropos->,

which <3588-ho-> is corrupt <5351-phtheiro-> according <2596-

kata-> to the deceitful <0539-apate-> lusts <1939-epithumia->;

04:23 And be renewed <0365-ananeoo-> in the spirit <4151-pneuma-

> of your <5216-humon-> mind <3563-nous->;

04:24 And that ye put <1746-enduo-> on <1746-enduo-> the new

<2537-kainos-> man <0444-anthropos->, which <3588-ho-> after

<2596-kata-> God <2316-theos-> is created <2936-ktizo-> in

righteousness <1343-dikaiosune-> and true <0225-aletheia->

holiness <3742-hosiotes->.

04:25 Wherefore <1352-dio-> putting <0659-apotithemi-> away

<0659-apotithemi-> lying <5579-pseudos->, speak <2980-laleo->

every <1538-hekastos-> man truth <0226-aletheuo-> with his

neighbour <4139-plesion->: for we are members <3196-melos-> one

<0240-allelon-> of another <0240-allelon->.

04:26 Be ye angry <3710-orgizo->, and sin <0264-hamartano-> not:

let not the sun <2246-helios-> go <1931-epiduo-> down <1931-

epiduo-> upon your <5216-humon-> wrath <3950-parorgismos->:

04:27 Neither <3383-mete-> give <1325-didomi-> place <5117-topos-

> to the devil <1228-diabolos->.

04:28 Let him that stole <2813-klepto-> steal <2813-klepto-> no

<3371-meketi-> more <2001-episucho->: but rather <3123-mallon->

let him labour <2872-kopiao->, working <2038-ergazomai-> with

[his] hands <5495-cheir-> the thing which is good <0018-agathos-

>, that he may have <2192-echo-> to give <3330-metadidomi-> to

him that needeth <5532-chreia->.

04:29 Let no <3361-me-> corrupt <4550-sapros-> communication

<3056-logos-> proceed <1607-ekporeuomai-> out of your <5216-

humon-> mouth <4750-stoma->, but that which <1536-ei tis-> is

good <0018-agathos-> to the use <5532-chreia-> of edifying <3619-

oikodome->, that it may minister <1325-didomi-> grace <5485-

charis-> unto the hearers <0191-akouo->.

04:30 And grieve <3076-lupeo-> not the holy <0040-hagios->

Spirit <4151-pneuma-> of God <2316-theos->, whereby <3739-hos->

ye are sealed <4972-sphragizo-> unto the day <2250-hemera-> of

redemption <0629-apolutrosis->.

04:31 Let all <3956-pas-> bitterness <4088-pikria->, and wrath

<2372-thumos->, and anger <3709-orge->, and clamour <2906-krauge-

>, and evil <0988-blasphemia-> speaking <0988-blasphemia->, be

put <0142-airo-> away from you, with all <3956-pas-> malice

<2549-kakia->:

04:32 And be ye kind <5543-chrestos-> one <0240-allelon-> to

another <0240-allelon->, tenderhearted <2155-eusplagchnos->,

forgiving <5483-charizomai-> one <1438-heautou-> another <1438-

heautou->, even <2532-kai-> as God <2316-theos-> for Christ's

<5547-Christos-> sake <1722-en-> hath forgiven <5483-charizomai-

> you.

05:01 Be ye therefore <3767-oun-> followers <3402-mimetes-> of

God <2316-theos->, as dear <0027-agapetos-> children <5043-

teknon->;

05:02 And walk <4043-peripateo-> in love <0026-agape->, as

Christ <5547-Christos-> also <2532-kai-> hath loved <0026-agape-

> us, and hath given <3860-paradidomi-> himself <1438-heautou->

for us an offering <4376-prosphora-> and a sacrifice <2378-

thusia-> to God <2316-theos-> for a sweetsmelling <2175-euodia->

savour <3744-osme->.

05:03 But fornication <4202-porneia->, and all <3956-pas->

uncleanness <0167-akatharsia->, or <2228-e-> covetousness <4124-

pleonexia->, let it not be once <3366-mede-> named <3687-onomazo-

> among <1722-en-> you, as becometh <4241-prepo-> saints <0040-

hagios->;

05:04 Neither <3756-ou-> filthiness <0151-aischrotes->, nor

<2532-kai-> foolish <3473-morologia-> talking <3473-morologia->,

nor <2228-e-> jesting <2160-eutrapelia->, which <3588-ho-> are

not convenient <0433-aneko->: but rather <3123-mallon-> giving

of thanks <2169-eucharistia->.

05:05 For this <5124-touto-> ye know <1097-ginosko->, that no

<3756-ou-> whoremonger <4205-pornos->, nor <2228-e-> unclean

<0169-akathartos-> person, nor <2228-e-> covetous <4123-

pleonektes-> man, who <3739-hos-> is an idolater <1496-

eidololatres->, hath <2192-echo-> any inheritance <2817-

kleronomia-> in the kingdom <0932-basileia-> of Christ <5547-

Christos-> and of God <2316-theos->.

05:06 Let no <3367-medeis-> man <3367-medeis-> deceive <0538-

apatao-> you with vain <2756-kenos-> words <3056-logos->: for

because <1223-dia-> of these <5023-tauta-> things cometh <2064-

erchomai-> the wrath <3709-orge-> of God <2316-theos-> upon the

children <5207-huios-> of disobedience <0543-apeitheia->.

05:07 Be not ye therefore <3767-oun-> partakers <4830-

summetochos-> with them.

05:08 For ye were sometimes <4218-pote-> darkness <4655-skotos->,

but now <3568-nun-> [are ye] light <5457-phos-> in the Lord

<2962-kurios->: walk <4043-peripateo-> as children <5043-teknon-

> of light <5457-phos->:

05:09 (For the fruit <2590-karpos-> of the Spirit <4151-pneuma->

[is] in all <3956-pas-> goodness <0019-agathosune-> and

righteousness <1343-dikaiosune-> and truth <0226-aletheuo->;)

05:10 Proving <1381-dokimazo-> what <5101-tis-> is acceptable

<2101-euarestos-> unto the Lord <2962-kurios->.

05:11 And have no <3361-me-> fellowship <4790-sugkoinoneo-> with

the unfruitful <0175-akarpos-> works <2041-ergon-> of darkness

<4655-skotos->, but rather <3123-mallon-> reprove <1651-elegcho-

> [them].

05:12 For it is a shame <0149-aischron-> even <2532-kai-> to

speak <3004-lego-> of those <3588-ho-> things which are done

<1096-ginomai-> of them in secret <2931-kruphe->.

05:13 But all <3956-pas-> things that are reproved <1651-elegcho-

> are made <5319-phaneroo-> manifest <5319-phaneroo-> by the

light <5457-phos->: for whatsoever <3956-pas-> doth make <5319-

phaneroo-> manifest <5319-phaneroo-> is light <5457-phos->.

05:14 Wherefore <1352-dio-> he saith <3004-lego->, Awake <1453-

egeiro-> thou that sleepest <2518-katheudo->, and arise <0450-

anistemi-> from the dead <3498-nekros->, and Christ <5547-

Christos-> shall give thee light <2017-epiphauo->.

05:15 See <0991-blepo-> then <3767-oun-> that ye walk <4043-

peripateo-> circumspectly <0199-akribos->, not as fools <0781-

asophos->, but as wise <4680-sophos--oneidismos->,

05:16 Redeeming <1805-exagorazo-> the time <2540-kairos->,

because <3754-hoti-> the days <2250-hemera-> are evil <4190-

poneros->.

05:17 Wherefore <5124-touto-> be ye not unwise <0878-aphron->,

but understanding <4920-suniemi-> what <5101-tis-> the will

<2307-thelema-> of the Lord <2962-kurios-> [is].

05:18 And be not drunk <3182-methusko-> with wine <3631-oinos->,

wherein <3757-hou-> is excess <0810-asotia->; but be filled

<4137-pleroo-> with the Spirit <4151-pneuma->;

05:19 Speaking <2980-laleo-> to yourselves <1438-heautou-> in

psalms <5568> and hymns <5215-humnos-> and spiritual <4152-

pneumatikos-> songs <5603-oide->, singing <0103-aido-> and

making <5567-psallo-> melody <5567-psallo-> in your <5216-humon-

> heart <2588-kardia-> to the Lord <2962-kurios->;

05:20 Giving thanks <2168-eucharisteo-> always <3842-pantote->

for all <3956-pas-> things unto God <2316-theos-> and the Father

<3962-pater-> in the name <3686-onoma-> of our Lord <2962-kurios-

> Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->;

05:21 Submitting <5293-hupotasso-> yourselves one <0240-allelon-

> to another <0240-allelon-> in the fear <5401-phobos-> of God

<2316-theos->.

05:22 Wives <1135-gune->, submit <5293-hupotasso-> yourselves

unto your <3588-ho-> own <2398-idios-> husbands <0435-aner->, as

unto the Lord <2962-kurios->.

05:23 For the husband <0435-aner-> is the head <2776-kephale->

of the wife <1135-gune->, even <2532-kai-> as Christ <5547-

Christos-> is the head <2776-kephale-> of the church <1577-

ekklesia->: and he is the saviour <4990-soter-> of the body

<4983-soma->.

05:24 Therefore <0235-alla-> as the church <1577-ekklesia-> is

subject <5293-hupotasso-> unto Christ <5547-Christos->, so <3779-

houto-> [let] the wives <1135-gune-> [be] to their own <2398-

idios-> husbands <0435-aner-> in every <3956-pas-> thing.

05:25 Husbands <0435-aner->, love <0025-agapao-> your <1438-

heautou-> wives <1135-gune->, even <2531-kathos-> as Christ

<5547-Christos-> also <2532-kai-> loved <0025-agapao-> the

church <1577-ekklesia->, and gave <3860-paradidomi-> himself

<1438-heautou-> for it;

05:26 That he might sanctify <0037-hagiazo-> and cleanse <2511-

katharizo-> it with the washing <3067-loutron-> of water <5204-

hudor-> by the word <4487-rhema->,

05:27 That he might present <3936-paristemi-> it to himself

<1438-heautou-> a glorious <1741-endoxos-> church <1577-ekklesia-

wrinkle <4512-rhutis->, or <2228-e-> any <5100-tis-> such <5108-

toioutos-> thing; but that it should be holy <0040-hagios-> and

without <0299-amomos-> blemish <0299-amomos->.

05:28 So <3779-houto-> ought <3784-opheilo-> men <0435-aner-> to

love <0025-agapao-> their wives <1135-gune-> as their own <1438-

heautou-> bodies <4983-soma->. He that loveth <0025-agapao-> his

wife <1135-gune-> loveth <0025-agapao-> himself <1438-heautou->.

05:29 For no <3762-oudeis-> man <3762-oudeis-> ever <4218-pote->

yet hated <3404-miseo-> his own <1438-heautou-> flesh <4561-sarx-

it, even <2532-kai-> as the Lord <2962-kurios-> the church <1577-

ekklesia->:

05:30 For we are members <3196-melos-> of his body <4983-soma->,

of his flesh <4561-sarx->, and of his bones <3747-osteon->.

05:31 For this <5127-toutou-> cause <0873-aphorizo-> shall a man

<0444-anthropos-> leave <2641-kataleipo-> his father <3962-pater-

> and mother <3384-meter->, and shall be joined <4347-proskollao-

> unto his wife <1135-gune->, and they two <1417-duo-> shall be

one <3391-mia-> flesh <4561-sarx->.

05:32 This <5124-touto-> is a great <3173-megas-> mystery <3466-

musterion->: but I speak <3004-lego-> concerning <1519-eis->

Christ <5547-Christos-> and the church <1577-ekklesia->.

05:33 Nevertheless <4133-plen-> let every <1520-heis-> one of

you in particular <1520-heis-> so <3779-houto-> love <0025-

agapao-> his wife <1135-gune-> even <5613-hos-> as himself <1438-

heautou->; and the wife <1135-gune-> [see] that she reverence

<5399-phobeo-> [her] husband <0435-aner->.

06:01 Children <5043-teknon->, obey <5219-hupakouo-> your <5216-

humon-> parents <1118-goneus-> in the Lord <2962-kurios->: for

this <5124-touto-> is right <1342-dikaios->.

06:02 Honour <5091-timao-> thy father <3962-pater-> and mother

<3384-meter->; (which <3748-hostis-> is the first <4413-protos->

commandment <1785-entole-> with promise <1860-epaggelia->;)

06:03 That it may be well <2095-eu-> with thee, and thou mayest

live <3118-makrochronios-> long <2118-euthutes-> on <1909-epi->

the earth <1093-ge->.

06:04 And, ye fathers <3962-pater->, provoke <3949-parorgizo->

not your <5216-humon-> children <5043-teknon-> to wrath <3949-

parorgizo->: but bring <1625-ektrepho-> them up in the nurture

<3809-paideia-> and admonition <3559-nouthesia-> of the Lord

<2962-kurios->.

06:05 Servants <1401-doulos->, be obedient <5219-hupakouo-> to

them that are [your] masters <2962-kurios-> according <2596-kata-

> to the flesh <4561-sarx->, with fear <5401-phobos-> and

trembling <5156-tromos->, in singleness <0572-haplotes-> of your

<5216-humon-> heart <2588-kardia->, as unto Christ <5547-

Christos->;

06:06 Not with eyeservice <3787-ophthalmodouleia->, as

menpleasers <0441-anthropareskos->; but as the servants <1401-

doulos-> of Christ <5547-Christos->, doing <4160-poieo-> the

will <2307-thelema-> of God <2316-theos-> from the heart <5590-

psuche->;

06:07 With good <2133-eunoia-> will <2133-eunoia-> doing <1398-

douleuo-> service <1398-douleuo->, as to the Lord <2962-kurios->,

and not to men <0444-anthropos->:

06:08 Knowing <1492-eido-> that whatsoever <5100-tis-> good

<0018-agathos-> thing any <1538-hekastos-> man doeth <4160-poieo-

>, the same <3778-houtos-> shall he receive <2865-komizo-> of

the Lord <2962-kurios->, whether <1535-eite-> [he be] bond <1401-

doulos-> or <1535-eite-> free <1658-eleutheros->.

06:09 And, ye masters <2962-kurios->, do <4160-poieo-> the same

<0846-autos-> things unto them, forbearing <0447-aniemi->

threatening <0547-apeile->: knowing <1492-eido-> that your <5216-

humon-> Master <2962-kurios-> also <2532-kai-> is in heaven

<3772-ouranos->; neither <3756-ou-> is there respect <3382-meros-

> of persons <4382-prosopolepsia-> with him.

06:10 Finally <3063-loipon->, my brethren <0080-adephos->, be

strong <1743-endunamoo-> in the Lord <2962-kurios->, and in the

power <2904-kratos-> of his might <2479-ischus->.

06:11 Put <1746-enduo-> on <1746-enduo-> the whole armour <3833-

panoplia-> of God <2316-theos->, that ye may be able <1410-

dunamai-> to stand <2476-histemi-> against <4314-pros-> the

wiles <3180-methodeia-> of the devil <1228-diabolos->.

06:12 For we wrestle <3823-pale-> not against <4314-pros-> flesh

<4561-sarx-> and blood <0129-haima->, but against <4314-pros->

principalities <0746-arche->, against <4314-pros-> powers <1849-

exousia->, against <4314-pros-> the rulers <2888-kosmokrator->

of the darkness <4655-skotos-> of this <5127-toutou-> world

<0165-aion->, against <4314-pros-> spiritual <4152-pneumatikos->

wickedness <4189-poneria-> in high <2032-epouranios-> [places].

06:13 Wherefore <5124-touto-> take <0353-analambano-> unto you

the whole armour <3833-panoplia-> of God <2316-theos->, that ye

may be able <1410-dunamai-> to withstand <0436-anthistemi-> in

the evil <4190-poneros-> day <2250-hemera->, and having done

<2716-katergazomai-> all <0537-hapas->, to stand <2476-histemi->.

06:14 Stand <2476-histemi-> therefore <3767-oun->, having your

<5216-humon-> loins <3751-osphus-> girt <4024-perizonnumi->

about <4024-perizonnumi-> with truth <0226-aletheuo->, and

having <1746-enduo-> on <1746-enduo-> the breastplate <2382-

thorax-> of righteousness <1343-dikaiosune->;

06:15 And your <3588-ho-> feet <4228-pous-> shod <5265-hupodeo->

with the preparation <2091-hetoimasia-> of the gospel <2098-

euaggelion-> of peace <1515-eirene->;

06:16 Above <1909-epi-> all <3956-pas->, taking <0353-analambano-

> the shield <2375-thureos-> of faith <4102-pistis->, wherewith

<3739-hos-> ye shall be able <1410-dunamai-> to quench <4570-

sbennumi-> all <3956-pas-> the fiery <4448-puroo-> darts <0956-

belos-> of the wicked <4190-poneros->.

06:17 And take <1209-dechomai-> the helmet <4030-perikephalaia->

of salvation <4992-soterion->, and the sword <3162-machaira-> of

the Spirit <4151-pneuma->, which <3739-hos-> is the word <4487-

rhema-> of God <2316-theos->:

06:18 Praying <4336-proseuchomai-> always <2540-kairos-> with

all <3956-pas-> prayer <4335-proseuche-> and supplication <1162-

deesis-> in the Spirit <4151-pneuma->, and watching <0069-

perseverance <4343-proskarteresis-> and supplication <1162-

deesis-> for all <3956-pas-> saints <0040-hagios->;

06:19 And for me, that utterance <3056-logos-> may be given

<1325-didomi-> unto me, that I may open <0457-anoixis-> my mouth

<4750-stoma-> boldly <3954-parrhesia->, to make <1107-gnorizo->

known <1107-gnorizo-> the mystery <3466-musterion-> of the

gospel <2098-euaggelion->,

06:20 For which <3739-hos-> I am an ambassador <4243-presbeuo->

in bonds <0254-halusis->: that therein <0846-autos-> I may speak

boldly <3955-parrhesiazomai->, as I ought <1163-dei-> to speak

<2980-laleo->.

06:21 But that ye also <2532-kai-> may know <1492-eido-> my

affairs <2596-kata->, [and] how <5101-tis-> I do <4238-prasso->,

Tychicus <5190-Tuchikos->, a beloved <0027-agapetos-> brother

<0080-adephos-> and faithful <4103-pistos-> minister <1249-

diakonos-> in the Lord <2962-kurios->, shall make <1107-gnorizo-

06:22 Whom <3739-hos-> I have sent <3992-pempo-> unto you for

the same <0846-autos-> purpose, that ye might know <1097-ginosko-

> our affairs <4012-peri->, and [that] he might comfort <3870-

parakaleo-> your <5216-humon-> hearts <2588-kardia->.

06:23 Peace <1515-eirene-> [be] to the brethren <0080-adephos->,

and love <0026-agape-> with faith <4102-pistis->, from God <2316-

theos-> the Father <3962-pater-> and the Lord <2962-kurios->

Jesus <2424-Iesous-> Christ <5547-Christos->.

06:24 Grace <5485-charis-> [be] with all <3956-pas-> them that

love <0025-agapao-> our Lord <2962-kurios-> Jesus <2424-Iesous->

Christ <5547-Christos-> in sincerity <0861-aphthrsia->. Amen
