Ephesians

Chapter 4

1 I THEREFORE, a prisoner of our LORD, beseech you to live as is worthy of the rank to which you are called,

2 With all humility and gentleness and with patience, forbearing one another in love,

3 Endeavoring to preserve the harmony of the Spirit in the bond of peace,

4 That you may become one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;

5 There is one LORD, one faith, and one baptism;

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

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

8 Wherefore it is said, He ascended on high, and took possession of heaven and gave good gifts to men.

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

10 So he that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fulfil all things.

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

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

13 Until we all become one in faith, and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and become a perfect man according to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

14 That we henceforth be not as children easily stirred and carried away by every wind of false doctrines of men who through their craftiness are artful in deceiving the people;

15 But that we be sincere in our love, so that in everything we may progress through Christ, who is the head.

16 It is through him that the whole body is closely and firmly united at all joints, according to the measure of the gift which is given to every member, for the guidance and control of the body, in order to complete the edifying of the body in love.

17 This I say therefore and testify in the LORD: that you henceforth live not as other Gentiles, who live in the vanity of their mind,

18 And whose understanding is dark, and who are alienated from the life of God, because they have no knowledge, and because of the blindness of their hearts;

19 And who have given up their hope, and have surrendered themselves to wantonness, and to the practice of all uncleanness in their covetousness.

20 But that is not what you have been taught about Christ;

21 If you have truly heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is found in Jesus:

22 That you lay aside all your former practices, that is to say, the old man which is degenerated with deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that you put on the new man, who is created by God in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore you must put away from you lying, and speak the truth every man with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

26 Be angry, but sin not: and let not the sun go down upon your anger;

27 And do not give the devil a chance.

28 From henceforth let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor with his hands and do good deeds, that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

29 Let no bad word proceed from your mouth, but words that are good and useful for edification, that they will impart blessing to those who hear them.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the day of salvation.

31 Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger, and clamouring and blasphemy be put away from you, together with all malice:

32 And be kind one to another and tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God has forgiven us through Christ.

1 So ermahne3870 nun3767 euch5209 ich1473 Gefangener1198 in1722 dem3739 HErrn2962, daß ihr2564 wandelt4043, wie sich‘s gebührt516 eurer Berufung2821, darinnen ihr berufen seid,

2 mit3326 aller3956 Demut5012 und2532 Sanftmut4236, mit3326 Geduld3115 und vertraget430 einer den andern240 in1722 der Liebe26

3 und seid fleißig4704, zu1722 halten5083 die Einigkeit1775 im Geist4151 durch das Band4886 des Friedens1515.

4 Ein1520 Leib4983 und2532 ein1520 Geist4151, wie ihr2564 auch2532 berufen seid auf1722 einerlei3391 Hoffnung1680 eurer5216 Berufung2821.

5 Ein1520 HErr2962, ein3391 Glaube4102, eine1520 Taufe908,

6 ein GOtt2316 und2532 Vater3962 (unser) aller3956, der1520 da ist über1909 euch5213 alle3956 und2532 durch1223 euch alle3956 und2532 in1722 euch allen3956.

7 Einem jeglichen1538 aber1161 unter uns2257 ist gegeben1325 die Gnade5485 nach2596 dem Maß3358 der1520 Gabe1431 Christi5547.

8 Darum1352 spricht3004 er305: Er ist aufgefahren in1519 die Höhe5311 und2532 hat das Gefängnis161 gefangen geführet und hat den444 Menschen Gaben1390 gegeben1325.

9 Daß3754 er305 aber1161 aufgefahren ist2076, was5101 ist‘s2597, denn1508 daß er zuvor4412 ist2532 hinuntergefahren2597 in1519 die untersten2737 Örter3313 der Erde1093?

10 Der hinuntergefahren ist2597, das3956 ist2076 derselbige, der aufgefahren ist2532 über5231 alle3956 Himmel3772, auf daß2443 er305 alles erfüllete.

11 Und2532 er2532 hat1325 etliche3303 zu Aposteln652 gesetzt, etliche aber1161 zu Propheten4396, etliche zu Evangelisten2099, etliche zu Hirten4166 und1161 Lehrern1320,

12 daß4314 die1519 Heiligen40 zugerichtet2677 werden zum1519 Werk2041 des Amts, dadurch der Leib4983 Christi5547 erbauet werde,

13 bis3360 daß1519 wir alle3956 hinankommen zu1519 einerlei1775 Glauben4102 und2532 Erkenntnis1922 des Sohnes Gottes2316 und ein vollkommener Mann435 werden, der da sei im1519 Maße3358 des vollkommenen5046 Alters2244 Christi5547,

14 auf daß2443 wir3516 nicht3371 mehr Kinder seien5600 und2532 uns wägen und wiegen lassen4064 von allerlei3956 Wind417 der Lehre1319 durch Schalkheit2940 der Menschen444 und Täuscherei3834, damit sie uns erschleichen3180 zu1722 verführen4106.

15 Lasset226 uns aber1161 rechtschaffen sein in1722 der3739 Liebe26 und wachsen837 in1519 allen Stücken an dem846, der das3956 Haupt2776 ist2076, Christus5547,

16 aus1537 welchem der ganze3956 Leib4983 zusammengefüget, und2532 ein Glied am andern hanget4822 durch1223 alle3956 Gelenke860, dadurch eines dem andern Handreichung2024 tut4160 nach2596 dem Werk1753 eines jeglichen1538 Gliedes3313 in1722 seinem Maße3358 und machet, daß der Leib4983 wächset zu seiner selbst1438 Besserung3619; und das3739 alles in der Liebe26:

17 So2532 sage3004 ich5124 nun3767 und2532 zeuge in1722 dem HErrn2962, daß ihr5209 nicht3371 mehr3371 wandelt4043, wie die andern3062 Heiden1484 wandeln4043 der1722 Eitelkeit3153 ihres Sinnes3563,

18 welcher Verstand1271 verfinstert4654 ist5607, und sind entfremdet526 von dem846 Leben2222, das5607 aus GOtt2316 ist, durch1223 die Unwissenheit52, so in1722 ihnen846 ist, durch1223 die Blindheit4457 ihres Herzens2588.

19 welche ruchlos sind524 und1519 ergeben3860 sich1438 der3748 Unzucht766 und treiben2039 allerlei3956 Unreinigkeit167 samt dem Geiz1722.

20 Ihr5210 aber1161 habt3129 Christum5547 nicht3756 also3779 gelernet,

21 so1489 ihr846 anders von ihm846 gehöret habt191 und2532 in1722 ihm gelehret seid1321, wie2531 in1722 JEsu2424 ein rechtschaffen Wesen225 ist2076.

22 So leget659 nun von euch5209 ab nach2596 dem3588 vorigen4387 Wandel391 den444 alten3820 Menschen, der durch2596 Lüste1939 in Irrtum539 sich verderbet.

23 Erneuert euch365 aber1161 im Geist4151 eures5216 Gemüts3563

24 und2532 ziehet den444 neuen2537 Menschen an1746, der3588 nach2596 GOtt2316 geschaffen ist2936 in1722 rechtschaffener225 Gerechtigkeit1343 und2532 Heiligkeit3742.

25 Darum1352 leget659 die Lüge5579 ab und3754 redet2980 die Wahrheit225, ein jeglicher1538 mit3326 seinem Nächsten4139, sintemal wir untereinander240 Glieder3196 sind2070.

26 Zürnet3710, und2532 sündiget264 nicht3361; lasset die Sonne2246 nicht3361 über1909 eurem5216 Zorn3950 untergehen1931.

27 Gebet1325 auch3383 nicht Raum5117 dem Lästerer1228!

28 Wer gestohlen hat2813, der stehle2813 nicht3371 mehr3123, sondern arbeite2038 und1161 schaffe mit den Händen5495 etwas Gutes18, auf daß2443 er habe2872, zu geben3330 dem Dürftigen.

29 Lasset kein faul4550 Geschwätz3056 aus1607 eurem5216 Munde4750 gehen, sondern235 was1536 nützlich zur Besserung3619 ist, da es5485 not5532 tut, daß4314 es holdselig sei1325 zu1537 hören191.

30 Und2532 betrübet3076 nicht3361 den Heiligen40 Geist4151 Gottes2316, damit ihr versiegelt4972 seid auf1519 den Tag2250 der3739 Erlösung629.

31 Alle3956 Bitterkeit4088 und2532 Grimm3709 und2532 Zorn2372 und2532 Geschrei2906 und2532 Lästerung988 sei ferne142 von575 euch5216 samt4862 aller3956 Bosheit2549.

32 Seid1096 aber1161 untereinander240 freundlich5543, herzlich2155 und2532 vergebet5483 einer dem andern, gleichwie GOtt2316 euch1438 vergeben hat5483 in1722 Christo5547.

Der Brief des Paulus an die Epheser

Kapitel 4

1 I THEREFORE, a prisoner of our LORD, beseech you to live as is worthy of the rank to which you are called,

1 So ermahne3870 nun3767 euch5209 ich1473 Gefangener1198 in1722 dem3739 HErrn2962, daß ihr2564 wandelt4043, wie sich‘s gebührt516 eurer Berufung2821, darinnen ihr berufen seid,

2 With all humility and gentleness and with patience, forbearing one another in love,

2 mit3326 aller3956 Demut5012 und2532 Sanftmut4236, mit3326 Geduld3115 und vertraget430 einer den andern240 in1722 der Liebe26

3 Endeavoring to preserve the harmony of the Spirit in the bond of peace,

3 und seid fleißig4704, zu1722 halten5083 die Einigkeit1775 im Geist4151 durch das Band4886 des Friedens1515.

4 That you may become one body, and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;

4 Ein1520 Leib4983 und2532 ein1520 Geist4151, wie ihr2564 auch2532 berufen seid auf1722 einerlei3391 Hoffnung1680 eurer5216 Berufung2821.

5 There is one LORD, one faith, and one baptism;

5 Ein1520 HErr2962, ein3391 Glaube4102, eine1520 Taufe908,

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

6 ein GOtt2316 und2532 Vater3962 (unser) aller3956, der1520 da ist über1909 euch5213 alle3956 und2532 durch1223 euch alle3956 und2532 in1722 euch allen3956.

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

7 Einem jeglichen1538 aber1161 unter uns2257 ist gegeben1325 die Gnade5485 nach2596 dem Maß3358 der1520 Gabe1431 Christi5547.

8 Wherefore it is said, He ascended on high, and took possession of heaven and gave good gifts to men.

8 Darum1352 spricht3004 er305: Er ist aufgefahren in1519 die Höhe5311 und2532 hat das Gefängnis161 gefangen geführet und hat den444 Menschen Gaben1390 gegeben1325.

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

9 Daß3754 er305 aber1161 aufgefahren ist2076, was5101 ist‘s2597, denn1508 daß er zuvor4412 ist2532 hinuntergefahren2597 in1519 die untersten2737 Örter3313 der Erde1093?

10 So he that descended is the same also that ascended far above all heavens, that he might fulfil all things.

10 Der hinuntergefahren ist2597, das3956 ist2076 derselbige, der aufgefahren ist2532 über5231 alle3956 Himmel3772, auf daß2443 er305 alles erfüllete.

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

11 Und2532 er2532 hat1325 etliche3303 zu Aposteln652 gesetzt, etliche aber1161 zu Propheten4396, etliche zu Evangelisten2099, etliche zu Hirten4166 und1161 Lehrern1320,

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

12 daß4314 die1519 Heiligen40 zugerichtet2677 werden zum1519 Werk2041 des Amts, dadurch der Leib4983 Christi5547 erbauet werde,

13 Until we all become one in faith, and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and become a perfect man according to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

13 bis3360 daß1519 wir alle3956 hinankommen zu1519 einerlei1775 Glauben4102 und2532 Erkenntnis1922 des Sohnes Gottes2316 und ein vollkommener Mann435 werden, der da sei im1519 Maße3358 des vollkommenen5046 Alters2244 Christi5547,

14 That we henceforth be not as children easily stirred and carried away by every wind of false doctrines of men who through their craftiness are artful in deceiving the people;

14 auf daß2443 wir3516 nicht3371 mehr Kinder seien5600 und2532 uns wägen und wiegen lassen4064 von allerlei3956 Wind417 der Lehre1319 durch Schalkheit2940 der Menschen444 und Täuscherei3834, damit sie uns erschleichen3180 zu1722 verführen4106.

15 But that we be sincere in our love, so that in everything we may progress through Christ, who is the head.

15 Lasset226 uns aber1161 rechtschaffen sein in1722 der3739 Liebe26 und wachsen837 in1519 allen Stücken an dem846, der das3956 Haupt2776 ist2076, Christus5547,

16 It is through him that the whole body is closely and firmly united at all joints, according to the measure of the gift which is given to every member, for the guidance and control of the body, in order to complete the edifying of the body in love.

16 aus1537 welchem der ganze3956 Leib4983 zusammengefüget, und2532 ein Glied am andern hanget4822 durch1223 alle3956 Gelenke860, dadurch eines dem andern Handreichung2024 tut4160 nach2596 dem Werk1753 eines jeglichen1538 Gliedes3313 in1722 seinem Maße3358 und machet, daß der Leib4983 wächset zu seiner selbst1438 Besserung3619; und das3739 alles in der Liebe26:

17 This I say therefore and testify in the LORD: that you henceforth live not as other Gentiles, who live in the vanity of their mind,

17 So2532 sage3004 ich5124 nun3767 und2532 zeuge in1722 dem HErrn2962, daß ihr5209 nicht3371 mehr3371 wandelt4043, wie die andern3062 Heiden1484 wandeln4043 der1722 Eitelkeit3153 ihres Sinnes3563,

18 And whose understanding is dark, and who are alienated from the life of God, because they have no knowledge, and because of the blindness of their hearts;

18 welcher Verstand1271 verfinstert4654 ist5607, und sind entfremdet526 von dem846 Leben2222, das5607 aus GOtt2316 ist, durch1223 die Unwissenheit52, so in1722 ihnen846 ist, durch1223 die Blindheit4457 ihres Herzens2588.

19 And who have given up their hope, and have surrendered themselves to wantonness, and to the practice of all uncleanness in their covetousness.

19 welche ruchlos sind524 und1519 ergeben3860 sich1438 der3748 Unzucht766 und treiben2039 allerlei3956 Unreinigkeit167 samt dem Geiz1722.

20 But that is not what you have been taught about Christ;

20 Ihr5210 aber1161 habt3129 Christum5547 nicht3756 also3779 gelernet,

21 If you have truly heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is found in Jesus:

21 so1489 ihr846 anders von ihm846 gehöret habt191 und2532 in1722 ihm gelehret seid1321, wie2531 in1722 JEsu2424 ein rechtschaffen Wesen225 ist2076.

22 That you lay aside all your former practices, that is to say, the old man which is degenerated with deceitful lusts;

22 So leget659 nun von euch5209 ab nach2596 dem3588 vorigen4387 Wandel391 den444 alten3820 Menschen, der durch2596 Lüste1939 in Irrtum539 sich verderbet.

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

23 Erneuert euch365 aber1161 im Geist4151 eures5216 Gemüts3563

24 And that you put on the new man, who is created by God in righteousness and true holiness.

24 und2532 ziehet den444 neuen2537 Menschen an1746, der3588 nach2596 GOtt2316 geschaffen ist2936 in1722 rechtschaffener225 Gerechtigkeit1343 und2532 Heiligkeit3742.

25 Wherefore you must put away from you lying, and speak the truth every man with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

25 Darum1352 leget659 die Lüge5579 ab und3754 redet2980 die Wahrheit225, ein jeglicher1538 mit3326 seinem Nächsten4139, sintemal wir untereinander240 Glieder3196 sind2070.

26 Be angry, but sin not: and let not the sun go down upon your anger;

26 Zürnet3710, und2532 sündiget264 nicht3361; lasset die Sonne2246 nicht3361 über1909 eurem5216 Zorn3950 untergehen1931.

27 And do not give the devil a chance.

27 Gebet1325 auch3383 nicht Raum5117 dem Lästerer1228!

28 From henceforth let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor with his hands and do good deeds, that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

28 Wer gestohlen hat2813, der stehle2813 nicht3371 mehr3123, sondern arbeite2038 und1161 schaffe mit den Händen5495 etwas Gutes18, auf daß2443 er habe2872, zu geben3330 dem Dürftigen.

29 Let no bad word proceed from your mouth, but words that are good and useful for edification, that they will impart blessing to those who hear them.

29 Lasset kein faul4550 Geschwätz3056 aus1607 eurem5216 Munde4750 gehen, sondern235 was1536 nützlich zur Besserung3619 ist, da es5485 not5532 tut, daß4314 es holdselig sei1325 zu1537 hören191.

30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, whereby you are sealed unto the day of salvation.

30 Und2532 betrübet3076 nicht3361 den Heiligen40 Geist4151 Gottes2316, damit ihr versiegelt4972 seid auf1519 den Tag2250 der3739 Erlösung629.

31 Let all bitterness and wrath, and anger, and clamouring and blasphemy be put away from you, together with all malice:

31 Alle3956 Bitterkeit4088 und2532 Grimm3709 und2532 Zorn2372 und2532 Geschrei2906 und2532 Lästerung988 sei ferne142 von575 euch5216 samt4862 aller3956 Bosheit2549.

32 And be kind one to another and tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God has forgiven us through Christ.

32 Seid1096 aber1161 untereinander240 freundlich5543, herzlich2155 und2532 vergebet5483 einer dem andern, gleichwie GOtt2316 euch1438 vergeben hat5483 in1722 Christo5547.
