IG1473 thereforeG3767, the prisonerG1198 ofG1722 the LordG2962, beseechG3870 youG5209 that ye walkG4043 worthyG516 of the vocationG2821 wherewithG3739 ye are calledG2564, {of the Lord: or, in the Lord}
WithG3326 allG3956 lowlinessG5012 andG2532 meeknessG4236, withG3326 longsufferingG3115, forbearingG430 one anotherG240 inG1722 loveG26;
EndeavouringG4704 to keepG5083 the unityG1775 of the SpiritG4151 inG1722 the bondG4886 of peaceG1515.
There is oneG1520 bodyG4983, andG2532 oneG1520 SpiritG4151, even asG2531+G2532 ye are calledG2564 inG1722 oneG3391 hopeG1680 of yourG5216 callingG2821;
OneG1520 LordG2962, oneG1520 faithG4102, oneG3391 baptismG908,
OneG1520 GodG2316 andG2532 FatherG3962 of allG3956, whoG3588 is aboveG1909 allG3956, andG2532 throughG1223 allG3956, andG2532 inG1722 youG5213 allG3956.
ButG1161 unto everyG1538 oneG1520 of usG2257 is givenG1325 graceG5485 according toG2596 the measureG3358 of the giftG1431 of ChristG5547.
WhereforeG1352 he saithG3004, When he ascendedG305 upG1519 on highG5311, he led captivityG162 captiveG161, andG2532 gaveG1325 giftsG1390 unto menG444. {captivity…: or, a multitude of captives}
(NowG1161 that he ascendedG305, whatG5101 is itG2076 butG1508 thatG3754 heG2597 alsoG2532 descendedG2597 firstG4412 intoG1519 the lowerG2737 partsG3313 of the earthG1093?
HeG846 that descendedG2597 isG2076 the same alsoG2532 that ascended upG305 far aboveG5231 allG3956 heavensG3772, thatG2443 he might fillG4137 all thingsG3956.) {fill: or, fulfil}
AndG2532 heG846 gaveG1325 someG3303, apostlesG652; andG1161 some, prophetsG4396; andG1161 some, evangelistsG2099; andG1161 some, pastorsG4166 andG2532 teachersG1320;
ForG4314 the perfectingG2677 of the saintsG40, forG1519 the workG2041 of the ministryG1248, forG1519 the edifyingG3619 of the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547:
TillG3360 we allG3956 comeG2658 inG1519 the unityG1775 of the faithG4102, andG2532 of the knowledgeG1922 of the SonG5207 of GodG2316, untoG1519 a perfectG5046 manG435, untoG1519 the measureG3358 of the statureG2244 of the fulnessG4138 of ChristG5547: {in: or, into} {stature: or, age}
ThatG2443 we henceforth beG5600 no moreG3371 childrenG3516, tossed to and froG2831, andG2532 carried about withG4064 everyG3956 windG417 of doctrineG1319, byG1722 the sleightG2940 of menG444, and cunning craftinessG1722+G3834, wherebyG4314 they lie in waitG3180 to deceiveG4106;
ButG1161 speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837 intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776, even ChristG5547: {speaking…: or, being sincere}
FromG1537 whomG3739 the wholeG3956 bodyG4983 fitly joined togetherG4883 andG2532 compactedG4822 byG1223 that which everyG3956 jointG860 suppliethG2024, accordingG2596 to the effectual workingG1753 inG1722 the measureG3358 of everyG1538 partG1520+G3313, makethG4160 increaseG838 of the bodyG4983 untoG1519 the edifyingG3619 of itselfG1438 inG1722 loveG26.
ThisG5124 I sayG3004 thereforeG3767, andG2532 testifyG3143 inG1722 the LordG2962, that yeG5209 henceforthG3371 walkG4043 notG3371 asG2531+G2532 otherG3062 GentilesG1484 walkG4043, inG1722 the vanityG3153 of theirG846 mindG3563,
Having the understandingG1271 darkenedG4654, beingG5607 alienatedG526 from the lifeG2222 of GodG2316 throughG1223 the ignoranceG52 that isG5607 inG1722 themG846, becauseG1223 of the blindnessG4457 of theirG846 heartG2588: {blindness: or, hardness}
WhoG3748 being past feelingG524 have givenG3860 themselvesG1438 overG3860 unto lasciviousnessG766, toG1519 workG2039 allG3956 uncleannessG167 withG1722 greedinessG4124.
ButG1161 yeG5210 haveG3129 notG3756 soG3779 learnedG3129 ChristG5547;
If so be thatG1489 ye have heardG191 himG846, andG2532 have been taughtG1321 byG1722 himG846, asG2531 the truthG225 isG2076 inG1722 JesusG2424:
That yeG5209 put offG659 concerningG2596 the formerG4387 conversationG391 the oldG3820 manG444, whichG3588 is corruptG5351 accordingG2596 to the deceitfulG539 lustsG1939;
AndG1161 be renewedG365 in the spiritG4151 of yourG5216 mindG3563;
AndG2532 that ye put onG1746 the newG2537 manG444, whichG3588 afterG2596 GodG2316 is createdG2936 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 andG2532 trueG225 holinessG3742. {true…: or, holiness of truth}
WhereforeG1352 putting awayG659 lyingG5579, speakG2980 every manG1538 truthG225 withG3326 hisG846 neighbourG4139: forG3754 we areG2070 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
Be ye angryG3710, andG2532 sinG264 notG3361: letG1931 notG3361 the sunG2246 go downG1931 uponG1909 yourG5216 wrathG3950:
NeitherG3383 giveG1325 placeG5117 to the devilG1228.
LetG2813 him that stoleG2813 stealG2813 no moreG3371: butG1161 ratherG3123 let him labourG2872, workingG2038 with his handsG5495 the thing which is goodG18, thatG2443 he may haveG2192 to giveG3330 to him that needethG5532+G2192. {to give: or, to distribute}
LetG4550 noG3361+G3956 corruptG4550 communicationG3056 proceedG1607 out ofG1537 yourG5216 mouthG4750, butG235 that whichG1536 is goodG18 toG4314 the useG5532 of edifyingG3619, thatG2443 it may ministerG1325 graceG5485 unto the hearersG191. {to…: or, to edify profitably}
AndG2532 grieveG3076 notG3361 the holyG40 SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, wherebyG1722+G3739 ye are sealedG4972 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of redemptionG629.
LetG142 allG3956 bitternessG4088, andG2532 wrathG2372, andG2532 angerG3709, andG2532 clamourG2906, andG2532 evil speakingG988, be put awayG142 fromG575 youG5216, withG4862 allG3956 maliceG2549:
AndG1161 beG1096 ye kindG5543 one to anotherG1519+G240, tenderheartedG2155, forgivingG5483 one anotherG1438, even asG2531+G2532 GodG2316 forG1722 Christ'sG5547 sakeG1722 hath forgivenG5483 youG5213.

ButG1161 speaking the truthG226 inG1722 loveG26, may grow upG837 intoG1519 himG846 in all thingsG3956, whichG3739 isG2076 the headG2776, even ChristG5547: {speaking…: or, being sincere}
ForG3754 we areG2070 membersG3196 of hisG846 bodyG4983, ofG1537 hisG846 fleshG4561, andG2532 ofG1537 hisG846 bonesG3747.
He saidH559 unto him, I am a prophetH5030 also as thou art; and an angelH4397 spakeH1696 unto me by the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068, sayingH559, Bring him backH7725 with thee into thine houseH1004, that he may eatH398 breadH3899 and drinkH8354 waterH4325. But he liedH3584 unto him.
For my mouthH2441 shall speakH1897 truthH571; and wickednessH7562 is an abominationH8441 to my lipsH8193. {an…: Heb. the abomination of my lips}
SoG3779 weG2070, being manyG4183, areG2070 oneG1520 bodyG4983 inG1722 ChristG5547, andG1161 everyG2596 oneG1520 membersG3196 one of anotherG240.
Thou lovestH157 evilH7451 more than goodH2896; and lyingH8267 rather than to speakH1696 righteousnessH6664. SelahH5542.
He that speakethH6315 truthH530 sheweth forthH5046 righteousnessH6664: but a falseH8267 witnessH5707 deceitH4820.
ForG3754 weG2070 being manyG4183 areG2070 oneG1520 breadG740, and oneG1520 bodyG4983: forG1063 we areG3348 allG3956 partakersG3348 ofG1537 that oneG1520 breadG740.
These are the thingsH1697 that ye shall doH6213; SpeakH1696 ye every manH376 the truthH571 to his neighbourH7453; executeH8199 the judgmentH4941 of truthH571 and peaceH7965 in your gatesH8179: {execute…: Heb. judge truth, and the judgment of peace}
ForG1063 asG2509 the bodyG4983 isG2076 oneG1520, andG2532 hathG2192 manyG4183 membersG3196, andG1161 allG3956 the membersG3196 of that oneG1520 bodyG4983, beingG5607 manyG4183, areG2076 oneG1520 bodyG4983: soG3779 alsoG2532 is ChristG5547.
ForG1063+G2532 byG1722 oneG1520 SpiritG4151 areG907 weG2249 allG3956 baptizedG907 intoG1519 oneG1520 bodyG4983, whetherG1535 we be JewsG2453 orG1535 GentilesG1672, whetherG1535 we be bondG1401 orG1535 freeG1658; andG2532 have beenG4222 allG3956 made to drinkG4222 intoG1519 oneG1520 SpiritG4151. {Gentiles: Gr. Greeks}
ForG1063 the bodyG4983 isG2076 notG3756 oneG1520 memberG3196, butG235 manyG4183.
IfG1437 the footG4228 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the handG5495, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
AndG2532 ifG1437 the earG3775 shall sayG2036, BecauseG3754 I amG1510 notG3756 the eyeG3788, I amG1510 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983; isG2076 it thereforeG3756+G3844+G5124 notG3756 ofG1537 the bodyG4983?
IfG1487 the wholeG3650 bodyG4983 were an eyeG3788, whereG4226 were the hearingG189? IfG1487 the wholeG3650 were hearingG189, whereG4226 were the smellingG3750?
ButG1161 nowG3570 hathG5087 GodG2316 setG5087 the membersG3196 everyG1538 oneG1520 of themG846 inG1722 the bodyG4983, asG2531 it hath pleased himG2309.
AndG1161 ifG1487 they wereG2258 allG3956 oneG1520 memberG3196, whereG4226 were the bodyG4983?
ButG1161 nowG3568+G3303 are they manyG4183 membersG3196, yet butG1161 oneG1520 bodyG4983.
AndG1161 the eyeG3788 cannotG3756+G1410 sayG2036 unto the handG5495, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of theeG4675: norG2228 againG3825 the headG2776 to the feetG4228, I haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of youG5216.
NayG235, muchG4183 moreG3123 those membersG3196 of the bodyG4983, which seemG1380 to beG5225 more feebleG772, areG2076 necessaryG316:
AndG2532 thoseG3739 members of the bodyG4983, which we thinkG1380 to beG1511 less honourableG820, upon theseG5125 we bestowG4060 more abundantG4055 honourG5092; andG2532 ourG2257 uncomelyG809 parts haveG2192 more abundantG4055 comelinessG2157. {bestow: or, put on}
ForG1161 ourG2257 comelyG2158 parts haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532: butG235 GodG2316 hath temperedG4786 the bodyG4983 togetherG4786, having givenG1325 more abundantG4055 honourG5092 to that part which lackedG5302:
ThatG3363 there should beG5600 noG3363 schismG4978 inG1722 the bodyG4983; butG235 that the membersG3196 should haveG3309 the sameG846 careG3309 one forG5228 anotherG240. {schism: or, division}
AndG2532 whetherG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 sufferG3958, allG3956 the membersG3196 suffer with itG4841; orG1535 oneG1520 memberG3196 be honouredG1392, allG3956 the membersG3196 rejoice with itG4796.
NowG1161 yeG5210 areG2075 the bodyG4983 of ChristG5547, andG2532 membersG3196 inG1537 particularG3313.
A proudH7311 lookH5869, a lyingH8267 tongueH3956, and handsH3027 that shedH8210 innocentH5355 bloodH1818, {A proud…: Heb. Haughty eyes}
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; The fastH6685 of the fourthH7243 month, and the fastH6685 of the fifthH2549, and the fastH6685 of the seventhH7637, and the fastH6685 of the tenthH6224, shall be to the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 joyH8342 and gladnessH8057, and cheerfulH2896 feastsH4150; therefore loveH157 the truthH571 and peaceH7965. {feasts: or, solemn, or, set times}
The lipH8193 of truthH571 shall be establishedH3559 for everH5703: but a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is but for a momentH7280.
ForG3754 if I have boastedG2744 any thingG1536 to himG846 ofG5228 youG5216, I amG2617 notG3756 ashamedG2617; butG235 asG5613 we spakeG2980 all thingsG3956 to youG5213 inG1722 truthG225, evenG2532 soG3779 ourG2257 boastingG2746, whichG3588 I made beforeG1909 TitusG5103, is foundG1096 a truthG225.
LyingH8267 lipsH8193 are abominationH8441 to the LORDH3068: but they that dealH6213 trulyH530 are his delightH7522.
LieG5574 notG3361 one to anotherG1519+G240, seeing that ye have put offG554 the oldG3820 manG444 withG4862 hisG846 deedsG4234;
The gettingH6467 of treasuresH214 by a lyingH8267 tongueH3956 is a vanityH1892 tossed to and fro ofH5086 them that seekH1245 deathH4194.
The ancientH2205 and honourableH6440+H5375, heH1931 is the headH7218; and the prophetH5030 that teachethH3384 liesH8267, he is the tailH2180.
For your handsH3709 are defiledH1351 with bloodH1818, and your fingersH676 with iniquityH5771; your lipsH8193 have spokenH1696 liesH8267, your tongueH3956 hath mutteredH1897 perversenessH5766.
None callethH7121 for justiceH6664, nor any pleadethH8199 for truthH530: they trustH982 in vanityH8414, and speakH1696 liesH7723; they conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bring forthH3205 iniquityH205.
For he saidH559, Surely they are my peopleH5971, childrenH1121 that will not lieH8266: so he was their SaviourH3467.
And they bendH1869 their tonguesH3956 like their bowH7198 for liesH8267: but they are not valiantH1396 for the truthH530 upon the earthH776; for they proceedH3318 from evilH7451 to evilH7451, and they knowH3045 not me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068.
Take ye heedH8104 every oneH376 of his neighbourH7453, and trustH982 ye not in any brotherH251: for every brotherH251 will utterlyH6117 supplantH6117, and every neighbourH7453 will walkH1980 with slandersH7400. {neighbour: or, friend}
And they will deceiveH2048 every oneH376 his neighbourH7453, and will not speakH1696 the truthH571: they have taughtH3925 their tongueH3956 to speakH1696 liesH8267, and wearyH3811 themselves to commit iniquityH5753. {deceive: or, mock}
By swearingH422, and lyingH3584, and killingH7523, and stealingH1589, and committing adulteryH5003, they break outH6555, and bloodH1818 touchethH5060 bloodH1818. {blood: Heb. bloods}
YeG5210 areG2075 ofG1537 your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, andG2532 the lustsG1939 of yourG5216 fatherG3962 ye willG2309 doG4160. HeG1565 wasG2258 a murdererG443 fromG575 the beginningG746, andG2532 abodeG2476 notG3756 inG1722 the truthG225, becauseG3754 there isG2076 noG3756 truthG225 inG1722 himG846. WhenG3752 he speakethG2980 a lieG5579, he speakethG2980 ofG1537 his ownG2398: forG3754 he isG2076 a liarG5583, andG2532 the fatherG3962 of itG846. {of his own: or, from his own will or disposition}
ButG1161 PeterG4074 saidG2036, AnaniasG367, whyG1302 hath SatanG4567 filledG4137 thineG4675 heartG2588+G4571 to lieG5574 to the HolyG40 GhostG4151, andG2532 to keep backG3557 part ofG575 the priceG5092 of the landG5564? {to lie to: or, to deceive}
Whiles it remainedG3306, was it notG3780 thine ownG4671+G3306? andG2532 after it was soldG4097, was it notG5225 inG1722 thine ownG4674 powerG1849? whyG5101+G3754 hast thou conceivedG5087 thisG5124 thingG4229 inG1722 thineG4675 heartG2588? thou hastG5574 notG3756 liedG5574 unto menG444, butG235 unto GodG2316.
LieG5574 notG3361 one to anotherG1519+G240, seeing that ye have put offG554 the oldG3820 manG444 withG4862 hisG846 deedsG4234;
For whoremongersG4205, for them that defile themselves with mankindG733, for menstealersG405, for liarsG5583, for perjured personsG1965, andG2532 if there be anyG1536 other thingG2087 that is contraryG480 to soundG5198 doctrineG1319;
Speaking liesG5573 inG1722 hypocrisyG5272; havingG2743 theirG2398 conscienceG4893 seared with a hot ironG2743;
InG1909 hopeG1680 of eternalG166 lifeG2222, whichG3739 GodG2316, that cannot lieG893, promisedG1861 beforeG4253 the worldG166 beganG5550; {In: or, For}
OneG5100 ofG1537 themselvesG846, even a prophetG4396 of theirG846 ownG2398, saidG2036, The CretiansG2912 are alwayG104 liarsG5583, evilG2556 beastsG2342, slowG692 belliesG1064.
ButG1161 the fearfulG1169, andG2532 unbelievingG571, andG2532 the abominableG948, andG2532 murderersG5406, andG2532 whoremongersG4205, andG2532 sorcerersG5332, andG2532 idolatersG1496, andG2532 allG3956 liarsG5571, shall have theirG846 partG3313 inG1722 the lakeG3041 whichG3588 burnethG2545 with fireG4442 andG2532 brimstoneG2303: which isG3603 the secondG1208 deathG2288.
