Ephesians 4

1 I exhort you, therefore, I, the prisoner in the Lord, to walk in a manner worthy of the calling wherewith ye were called: —

ato bandirahaṁ prabho rnāmnā yuṣmān vinaye yūyaṁ yenāhvānenāhūtāstadupayuktarūpeṇa

2 With all lowliness and meekness, with long suffering, bearing one with another in love,

sarvvathā namratāṁ mṛdutāṁ titikṣāṁ parasparaṁ pramnā sahiṣṇutāñcācarata|

3 Giving diligence to keep—the oneness of the Spirit in the uniting-bond of peace, —

praṇayabandhanena cātmana ekyaṁ rakṣituṁ yatadhvaṁ|

4 One body, and one spirit, even as ye were also called in one hope of your calling,

yūyam ekaśarīrā ekātmānaśca tadvad āhvānena yūyam ekapratyāśāprāptaye samāhūtāḥ|

5 One Lord, one faith, one immersion,

yuṣmākam ekaḥ prabhureko viśvāsa ekaṁ majjanaṁ, sarvveṣāṁ tātaḥ

6 One God and Father of all—who is over all, and through all, and in all.

sarvvoparisthaḥ sarvvavyāpī sarvveṣāṁ yuṣmākaṁ madhyavarttī caika īśvara āste|

7 To each one of you, however, hath favour been given, according to the measure of the free-gift of the Christ;

kintu khrīṣṭasya dānaparimāṇānusārād asmākam ekaikasmai viśeṣo varo'dāyi|

8 Wherefore he saith—Ascending on high, he took captivity captive, [and] gave gifts unto men.

yathā likhitam āste, "ūrddhvam āruhya jetṛn sa vijitya bandino'karot| tataḥ sa manujebhyo'pi svīyān vyaśrāṇayad varān||"

9 Now this, He ascended; what is it, —save—that he also descended into the under parts of the earth?

ūrddhvam āruhyetivākyasyāyamarthaḥ sa pūrvvaṁ pṛthivīrūpaṁ sarvvādhaḥsthitaṁ sthānam avatīrṇavān;

10 He that descended, he, it is who also ascended over-above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;

yaścāvatīrṇavān sa eva svargāṇām uparyyuparyyārūḍhavān yataḥ sarvvāṇi tena pūrayitavyāni|

11 And, he, gave—some, indeed, to be apostles, and some, prophets, and some, evangelists, and some, shepherds and teachers, —

sa eva ca kāṁścana preritān aparān bhaviṣyadvādino'parān susaṁvādapracārakān aparān pālakān upadeśakāṁśca niyuktavān|

12 With a view to the fitting of the saints for the work of ministering, for an upbuilding of the body of the Christ;

yāvad vayaṁ sarvve viśvāsasyeśvaraputraviṣayakasya tattvajñānasya caikyaṁ sampūrṇaṁ puruṣarthañcārthataḥ khrīṣṭasya sampūrṇaparimāṇasya samaṁ parimāṇaṁ na prāpnumastāvat

13 Until we all advance—into the oneness of the faith, and the personal knowledge of the Son of God, into a man of full-growth, into the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ;

sa paricaryyākarmmasādhanāya khrīṣṭasya śarīrasya niṣṭhāyai ca pavitralokānāṁ siddhatāyāstādṛśam upāyaṁ niścitavān|

14 That we may, no longer, be infants—billow-tossed and shifted round with every wind of teaching, —in the craft of men, in knavery suited to the artifice of error;

ataeva mānuṣāṇāṁ cāturīto bhramakadhūrttatāyāśchalācca jātena sarvveṇa śikṣāvāyunā vayaṁ yad bālakā iva dolāyamānā na bhrāmyāma ityasmābhi ryatitavyaṁ,

15 But, pursuing truth—may, in love, grow into him in all things, —who is the head, Christ, —

premnā satyatām ācaradbhiḥ sarvvaviṣaye khrīṣṭam uddiśya varddhitavyañca, yataḥ sa mūrddhā,

16 Out of whom all the body—fitly framing itself together, and connecting itself, through means of every joint of supply, by way of energising in the measure of each single part—secureth the growing of the body, unto an upbuilding of itself in love.

tasmāccaikaikasyāṅgasya svasvaparimāṇānusāreṇa sāhāyyakaraṇād upakārakaiḥ sarvvaiḥ sandhibhiḥ kṛtsnasya śarīrasya saṁyoge sammilane ca jāte premnā niṣṭhāṁ labhamānaṁ kṛtsnaṁ śarīraṁ vṛddhiṁ prāpnoti|

17 This, therefore, am I saying and protesting in the Lord: —that, no longer, ye walk even as, the nations, walk—in the vanity of their minds,

yuṣmān ahaṁ prabhunedaṁ bravīmyādiśāmi ca, anye bhinnajātīyā iva yūyaṁ pūna rmācarata|

18 Being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God—by reason of the ignorance that existeth within them, by reason of their hearts being turned into stone,

yataste svamanomāyām ācarantyāntarikājñānāt mānasikakāṭhinyācca timirāvṛtabuddhaya īśvarīyajīvanasya bagīrbhūtāśca bhavanti,

19 Who, indeed, having become past feeling, have delivered, themselves, up, with wantonness, unto making a trade of all impurity with greed.

svān caitanyaśūnyān kṛtvā ca lobhena sarvvavidhāśaucācaraṇāya lampaṭatāyāṁ svān samarpitavantaḥ|

20 Ye, however, have, not thus, learned the Christ: —

kintu yūyaṁ khrīṣṭaṁ na tādṛśaṁ paricitavantaḥ,

21 If, at least, it is, him, ye have heard, and, in him, ye have been taught—even as truth is in Jesus, —

yato yūyaṁ taṁ śrutavanto yā satyā śikṣā yīśuto labhyā tadanusārāt tadīyopadeśaṁ prāptavantaśceti manye|

22 That ye were to strip off—as regardeth the former behaviour—the old man, who corrupteth himself according to his deceitful covetings,

tasmāt pūrvvakālikācārakārī yaḥ purātanapuruṣo māyābhilāṣai rnaśyati taṁ tyaktvā yuṣmābhi rmānasikabhāvo nūtanīkarttavyaḥ,

23 And were to be getting young again in the spirit of your mind,

yo navapuruṣa īśvarānurūpeṇa puṇyena satyatāsahitena

24 And were to put on the man of new mould, who, after God, hath been created in his truthful righteousness and loving kindness.

dhārmmikatvena ca sṛṣṭaḥ sa eva paridhātavyaśca|

25 Wherefore, stripping off what is false, be speaking truth each one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another;

ato yūyaṁ sarvve mithyākathanaṁ parityajya samīpavāsibhiḥ saha satyālāpaṁ kuruta yato vayaṁ parasparam aṅgapratyaṅgā bhavāmaḥ|

26 Be ye angry, and not committing sin, let not the sun be going down upon your angry mood,

aparaṁ krodhe jāte pāpaṁ mā kurudhvam, aśānte yuṣmākaṁ roṣesūryyo'staṁ na gacchatu|

27 Neither be giving place unto the adversary;

aparaṁ śayatāne sthānaṁ mā datta|

28 Let, the stealer, no more, steal, but rather let him be toiling, —working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have [wherewith] to be giving away to him that hath need;

coraḥ punaścairyyaṁ na karotu kintu dīnāya dāne sāmarthyaṁ yajjāyate tadarthaṁ svakarābhyāṁ sadvṛttyā pariśramaṁ karotu|

29 Let, no putrid discourse, out of your mouth, be going forth, but if anything is good—suited to the needful upbuilding, —that it may give benefit unto them that hear;

aparaṁ yuṣmākaṁ vadanebhyaḥ ko'pi kadālāpo na nirgacchatu, kintu yena śroturupakāro jāyate tādṛśaḥ prayojanīyaniṣṭhāyai phaladāyaka ālāpo yuṣmākaṁ bhavatu|

30 And be not grieving the Holy Spirit of God, wherewith ye have been sealed unto a day of redemption;

aparañca yūyaṁ muktidinaparyyantam īśvarasya yena pavitreṇātmanā mudrayāṅkitā abhavata taṁ śokānvitaṁ mā kuruta|

31 All bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and outcry, and profane speaking, let it be taken away from you, with all baseness;

aparaṁ kaṭuvākyaṁ roṣaḥ koṣaḥ kalaho nindā sarvvavidhadveṣaścaitāni yuṣmākaṁ madhyād dūrībhavantu|

32 And be ye gracious one to another, tenderly affectionate, in favour forgiving one another—even as, God also, in Christ, hath in favour forgiven you;

yūyaṁ parasparaṁ hitaiṣiṇaḥ komalāntaḥkaraṇāśca bhavata| aparam īśvaraḥ khrīṣṭena yadvad yuṣmākaṁ doṣān kṣamitavān tadvad yūyamapi parasparaṁ kṣamadhvaṁ|
