ΠΡΟΣ ΕΦΕΣΙΟΙΣ 4

Cap. 4

The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians 4

παρακαλῶ οὗν ὑμᾶς ἐγὼ ὁ δέσμιος ἐν κυρίῳ ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε, 1

Obsecro itaque vos ego vinctus in Domino, ut digne ambuletis vocatione, qua vocati estis, 1

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 1

μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πραΰτητος, μετὰ μακροθυμίας, ἀνεχόμενοι ἀλλήλων ἐν ἀγάπῃ, 2

cum omni humilitate, et mansuetudine, cum patientia, supportantes invicem in caritate, 2

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 2

σπουδάζοντες τηρεῖν τὴν ἑνότητα τοῦ πνεύματος ἐν τῶ συνδέσμῳ τῆς εἰρήνης· 3

solliciti servare unitatem Spiritus in vinculo pacis. 3

Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 3

ἓν σῶμα καὶ ἓν πνεῦμα, καθὼς καὶ ἐκλήθητε ἐν μιᾷ ἐλπίδι τῆς κλήσεως ὑμῶν· 4

Unum corpus, et unus Spiritus, sicut vocati estis in una spe vocationis vestræ. 4

There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 4

εἷς κύριος, μία πίστις, ἓν βάπτισμα· 5

Unus Dominus, una fides, unum baptisma. 5

One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 5

εἷς θεὸς καὶ πατὴρ πάντων, ὁ ἐπὶ πάντων καὶ διὰ πάντων καὶ ἐν πᾶσιν. 6

Unus Deus et Pater omnium, qui est super omnes, et per omnia, et in omnibus nobis. 6

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

ἑνὶ δὲ ἑκάστῳ ἡμῶν ἐδόθη ἡ χάρις κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τῆς δωρεᾶς τοῦ χριστοῦ. 7

Unicuique autem nostrum data est gratia secundum mensuram donationis Christi. 7

But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 7

διὸ λέγει, ἀναβὰς εἰς ὕψος ᾐχμαλώτευσεν αἰχμαλωσίαν, ἔδωκεν δόματα τοῖς ἀνθρώποις. 8

Propter quod dicit: Ascendens in altum, captivam duxit captivitatem: dedit dona hominibus. 8

Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 8

τὸ δὲ ἀνέβη τί ἐστιν εἰ μὴ ὅτι καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὰ κατώτερα <μέρη> τῆς γῆς; 9

Quod autem ascendit, quid est, nisi quia et descendit primum in inferiores partes terræ? 9

(Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 9

ὁ καταβὰς αὐτός ἐστιν καὶ ὁ ἀναβὰς ὑπεράνω πάντων τῶν οὐρανῶν, ἵνα πληρώσῃ τὰ πάντα. 10

Qui descendit, ipse est et qui ascendit super omnes cælos, ut impleret omnia. 10

He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 10

καὶ αὐτὸς ἔδωκεν τοὺς μὲν ἀποστόλους, τοὺς δὲ προφήτας, τοὺς δὲ εὐαγγελιστάς, τοὺς δὲ ποιμένας καὶ διδασκάλους, 11

Et ipse dedit quosdam quidem apostolos, quosdam autem prophetas, alios vero evangelistas, alios autem pastores et doctores, 11

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 11

πρὸς τὸν καταρτισμὸν τῶν ἁγίων εἰς ἔργον διακονίας, εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τοῦ σώματος τοῦ χριστοῦ, 12

ad consummationem sanctorum in opus ministerii, in ædificationem corporis Christi: 12

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 12

μέχρι καταντήσωμεν οἱ πάντες εἰς τὴν ἑνότητα τῆς πίστεως καὶ τῆς ἐπιγνώσεως τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰς ἄνδρα τέλειον, εἰς μέτρον ἡλικίας τοῦ πληρώματος τοῦ χριστοῦ, 13

donec occurramus omnes in unitatem fidei, et agnitionis Filii Dei, in virum perfectum, in mensuram ætatis plenitudinis Christi: 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: 13

ἵνα μηκέτι ὦμεν νήπιοι, κλυδωνιζόμενοι καὶ περιφερόμενοι παντὶ ἀνέμῳ τῆς διδασκαλίας ἐν τῇ κυβείᾳ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἐν πανουργίᾳ πρὸς τὴν μεθοδείαν τῆς πλάνης, 14

ut jam non simus parvuli fluctuantes, et circumferamur omni vento doctrinæ in nequitia hominum, in astutia ad circumventionem erroris. 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; 14

ἀληθεύοντες δὲ ἐν ἀγάπῃ αὐξήσωμεν εἰς αὐτὸν τὰ πάντα, ὅς ἐστιν ἡ κεφαλή, χριστός, 15

Veritatem autem facientes in caritate, crescamus in illo per omnia, qui est caput Christus: 15

But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 15

ἐξ οὖ πᾶν τὸ σῶμα συναρμολογούμενον καὶ συμβιβαζόμενον διὰ πάσης ἁφῆς τῆς ἐπιχορηγίας κατ᾽ ἐνέργειαν ἐν μέτρῳ ἑνὸς ἑκάστου μέρους τὴν αὔξησιν τοῦ σώματος ποιεῖται εἰς οἰκοδομὴν ἑαυτοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ. 16

ex quo totum corpus compactum et connexum per omnem juncturam subministrationis, secundum operationem in mensuram uniuscujusque membri, augmentum corporis facit in ædificationem sui in caritate. 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. 16

τοῦτο οὗν λέγω καὶ μαρτύρομαι ἐν κυρίῳ, μηκέτι ὑμᾶς περιπατεῖν καθὼς καὶ τὰ ἔθνη περιπατεῖ ἐν ματαιότητι τοῦ νοὸς αὐτῶν, 17

Hoc igitur dico, et testificor in Domino, ut jam non ambuletis, sicut et gentes ambulant in vanitate sensus sui, 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, 17

ἐσκοτωμένοι τῇ διανοίᾳ ὄντες, ἀπηλλοτριωμένοι τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ θεοῦ, διὰ τὴν ἄγνοιαν τὴν οὗσαν ἐν αὐτοῖς, διὰ τὴν πώρωσιν τῆς καρδίας αὐτῶν, 18

tenebris obscuratum habentes intellectum, alienati a vita Dei per ignorantiam, quæ est in illis, propter cæcitatem cordis ipsorum, 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: 18

οἵτινες ἀπηλγηκότες ἑαυτοὺς παρέδωκαν τῇ ἀσελγείᾳ εἰς ἐργασίαν ἀκαθαρσίας πάσης ἐν πλεονεξίᾳ. 19

qui desperantes, semetipsos tradiderunt impudicitiæ, in operationem immunditiæ omnis in avaritiam. 19

Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with Cor I greediness. 19

ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐχ οὕτως ἐμάθετε τὸν χριστόν, 20

Vos autem non ita didicistis Christum, 20

But ye have not so learned Christ; 20

εἴ γε αὐτὸν ἠκούσατε καὶ ἐν αὐτῶ ἐδιδάχθητε, καθώς ἐστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν τῶ ἰησοῦ, 21

si tamen illum audistis, et in ipso edocti estis, sicut est veritas in Jesu, 21

If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 21

ἀποθέσθαι ὑμᾶς κατὰ τὴν προτέραν ἀναστροφὴν τὸν παλαιὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν φθειρόμενον κατὰ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τῆς ἀπάτης, 22

deponere vos secundum pristinam conversationem veterem hominem, qui corrumpitur secundum desideria erroris. 22

That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 22

ἀνανεοῦσθαι δὲ τῶ πνεύματι τοῦ νοὸς ὑμῶν, 23

Renovamini autem spiritu mentis vestræ, 23

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 23

καὶ ἐνδύσασθαι τὸν καινὸν ἄνθρωπον τὸν κατὰ θεὸν κτισθέντα ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ὁσιότητι τῆς ἀληθείας. 24

et induite novum hominem, qui secundum Deum creatus est in justitia, et sanctitate veritatis. 24

And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. 24

διὸ ἀποθέμενοι τὸ ψεῦδος λαλεῖτε ἀλήθειαν ἕκαστος μετὰ τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ, ὅτι ἐσμὲν ἀλλήλων μέλη. 25

Propter quod deponentes mendacium, loquimini veritatem unusquisque cum proximo suo: quoniam sumus invicem membra. 25

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 25

ὀργίζεσθε καὶ μὴ ἁμαρτάνετε· ὁ ἥλιος μὴ ἐπιδυέτω ἐπὶ <τῶ> παροργισμῶ ὑμῶν, 26

Irascimini, et nolite peccare: sol non occidat super iracundiam vestram. 26

Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 26

μηδὲ δίδοτε τόπον τῶ διαβόλῳ. 27

Nolite locum dare diabolo: 27

Neither give place to the devil. 27

ὁ κλέπτων μηκέτι κλεπτέτω, μᾶλλον δὲ κοπιάτω ἐργαζόμενος ταῖς <ἰδίαις> χερσὶν τὸ ἀγαθόν, ἵνα ἔχῃ μεταδιδόναι τῶ χρείαν ἔχοντι. 28

qui furabatur, jam non furetur: magis autem laboret, operando manibus suis, quod bonum est, ut habeat unde tribuat necessitatem patienti. 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. 28

πᾶς λόγος σαπρὸς ἐκ τοῦ στόματος ὑμῶν μὴ ἐκπορευέσθω, ἀλλὰ εἴ τις ἀγαθὸς πρὸς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς χρείας, ἵνα δῶ χάριν τοῖς ἀκούουσιν. 29

Omnis sermo malus ex ore vestro non procedat: sed si quis bonus ad ædificationem fidei ut det gratiam audientibus. 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. 29

καὶ μὴ λυπεῖτε τὸ πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον τοῦ θεοῦ, ἐν ᾧ ἐσφραγίσθητε εἰς ἡμέραν ἀπολυτρώσεως. 30

Et nolite contristare Spiritum Sanctum Dei: in quo signati estis in diem redemptionis. 30

And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 30

πᾶσα πικρία καὶ θυμὸς καὶ ὀργὴ καὶ κραυγὴ καὶ βλασφημία ἀρθήτω ἀφ᾽ ὑμῶν σὺν πάσῃ κακίᾳ. 31

Omnis amaritudo, et ira, et indignatio, et clamor, et blasphemia tollatur a vobis cum omni malitia. 31

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 31

γίνεσθε <δὲ> εἰς ἀλλήλους χρηστοί, εὔσπλαγχνοι, χαριζόμενοι ἑαυτοῖς καθὼς καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἐν χριστῶ ἐχαρίσατο ὑμῖν. 32

Estote autem invicem benigni, misericordes, donantes invicem sicut et Deus in Christo donavit vobis. 32

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you. 32
