American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
And Jesus advanced in wisdom and {Or, age}stature, and in {Or, grace}favor with God and men.
and I advanced in the Jews' religion beyond many of mine own age {Greek: in my race. Compare 2 Corinthians 11:26.}among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
But shun profane babblings: for they will proceed further in ungodliness,
But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be evident unto all men, as theirs also came to be.
but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth:
lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings,
and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him:
where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all.
Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering;
But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
in the word of truth, in the power of God; {Greek: though.}by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
neither present your members unto sin as {Or, weapons Compare 2 Corinthians 10:4.}instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as {Or, weapons Compare 2 Corinthians 10:4.}instruments of righteousness unto God.
Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.
