4:1
|
我为主被囚的劝你们：既然蒙召，行事为人就当与蒙召的恩相称。
|
|
|
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,
|
|
4:2
|
凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心互相宽容，
|
|
|
with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
|
|
4:3
|
用和平彼此联络，竭力保守圣灵所赐合而为一的心。
|
|
|
giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
|
|
4:4
|
身体只有一个，圣灵只有一个，正如你们蒙召同有一个指望。
|
|
|
[There is] one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
|
|
4:5
|
一主，一信，一洗，
|
|
|
one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
|
|
4:6
|
一神，就是众人的父，超乎众人之上，贯乎众人之中，也住在众人之内。
|
|
|
one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
|
|
4:7
|
我们各人蒙恩，都是照基督所量给各人的恩赐。
|
|
|
But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
|
|
4:8
|
所以经上说：他升上高天的时候，掳掠了仇敌，将各样的恩赐赏给人。
|
|
|
Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.
|
|
4:9
|
（既说升上，岂不是先降在地下吗？
|
|
|
(Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
|
|
4:10
|
那降下的，就是远升诸天之上要充满万有的。）
|
|
|
He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
|
|
4:11
|
他所赐的，有使徒，有先知，有传福音的，有牧师和教师，
|
|
|
And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
|
|
4:12
|
为要成全圣徒，各尽其职，建立基督的身体，
|
|
|
for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
|
|
4:13
|
直等到我们众人在真道上同归于一，认识神的儿子，得以长大成人，满有基督长成的身量，
|
|
|
till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
|
|
4:14
|
使我们不再作小孩子，中了人的诡计和欺骗的法术，被一切异教之风摇动，飘来飘去，就随从各样的异端；
|
|
|
that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
|
|
4:15
|
惟用爱心说诚实话，凡事长进，连于元首基督，
|
|
|
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ;
|
|
4:16
|
全身都靠他联络得合式，百节各按各职，照着各体的功用彼此相助，便叫身体渐渐增长，在爱中建立自己。
|
|
|
from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in [due] measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.
|
|
4:17
|
所以我说，且在主里确实的说，你们行事不要再像外邦人存虚妄的心行事。
|
|
|
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
|
|
4:18
|
他们心地昏昧，与神所赐的生命隔绝了，都因自己无知，心里刚硬；
|
|
|
being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart;
|
|
4:19
|
良心既然丧尽，就放纵私欲，贪行种种的污秽。
|
|
|
who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
|
|
4:20
|
你们学了基督，却不是这样。
|
|
|
But ye did not so learn Christ;
|
|
4:21
|
如果你们听过他的道，领了他的教，学了他的真理，
|
|
|
if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
|
|
4:22
|
就要脱去你们从前行为上的旧人，这旧人是因私欲的迷惑渐渐变坏的；
|
|
|
that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
|
|
4:23
|
又要将你们的心志改换一新，
|
|
|
and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
|
|
4:24
|
并且穿上新人；这新人是照着神的形像造的，有真理的仁义和圣洁。
|
|
|
and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
|
|
4:25
|
所以你们要弃绝谎言，各人与邻舍说实话，因为我们是互相为肢体。
|
|
|
Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.
|
|
4:26
|
生气却不要犯罪；不可含怒到日落，
|
|
|
Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:
|
|
4:27
|
也不可给魔鬼留地步。
|
|
|
neither give place to the devil.
|
|
4:28
|
从前偷窃的，不要再偷；总要劳力，亲手做正经事，就可有余分给那缺少的人。
|
|
|
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
|
|
4:29
|
污秽的言语一句不可出口，只要随事说造就人的好话，叫听见的人得益处。
|
|
|
Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
|
|
4:30
|
不要叫神的圣灵担忧；你们原是受了他的印记，等候得赎的日子来到。
|
|
|
And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
|
|
4:31
|
一切苦毒、恼恨、忿怒、嚷闹、毁谤，并一切的恶毒（或作：阴毒），都当从你们中间除掉；
|
|
|
Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
|
|
4:32
|
并要以恩慈相待，存怜悯的心，彼此饶恕，正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。
|
|
|
and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.
