en_cepher - Eph 4 - Ozzuu Bible

¹ I THEREFORE, the prisoner of Yahuah, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye are called,

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

³ Endeavoring to guard the unity of the Ruach in the bond of peace.

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

⁵ One Yah, one Faith, one Baptism,

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

⁷ But unto everyone of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Mashiach).

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

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

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

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

¹² For the perfecting of the qodeshiym, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Mashiach):

¹³ Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of Elohiym, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Mashiach:

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;

¹⁵ But speaking the Truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Mashiach):

¹⁶ From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.

¹⁷ This I say therefore, and testify in Yahuah, that ye henceforth walk not as the other nations walk, in the vanity of their mind,

¹⁸ Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of Elohiym through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

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

²⁰ But ye have not so learned Mashiach);

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

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

²³ And be renewed in the ruach of your mind;

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

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

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

²⁷ Neither give place to the devil.

²⁸ Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that has need.

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.

³⁰ And grieve not the Ruach Ha'Qodesh of Elohiym, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

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

³² And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as Elohiym for Mashiach's sake has forgiven you.
