에베소서 4
Korean Living Bible
그리스도 안에서의 연합
4 그러므로 주님을 위해 갇힌 나 바울이 권합니다. 여러분은 하나님의 부르심 을 받은 성도답게
2 언제나 겸손하고 부드러우며 인내와 사랑으로 서로 너그럽게 대하고
3 성령으로 연합하여 사이 좋게 지내도록 노력하십시오.
4 몸도 하나이며 성령님도 한 분이십니다. 이와 같이 여러분도 한 희망 가운데서 부르심을 받았습니다.
5 그리고 주님도 믿음도 [a]세례도 하나이며
6 우리 모두의 아버지이신 하나님도 한 분이십니다. 그분은 모든 것 위에 계시고 모든 것을 통해 일하시며 모든 것 안에 계십니다.
7 그러나 우리는 모두 그리스도께서 나눠 주신 분량에 따라 은혜의 선물을 받았습니다.
8 그래서 성경에는 [b]“그가 높은 곳으로 오르실 때 사로잡은 자들을 이끌고 가시며 사람들에게 선물을 주셨다” 라고 되어 있습니다.
9 그가 올라가셨다고 하였으니 [c]땅으로 내려오신 것이 아니고 무엇이겠습니까?
10 내려오신 그분은 온 우주를 가득 채우시기 위해 다시 [d]하늘로 올라가셨습니다.
11 바로 그분이 사람들에게 각각 다른 직분을 주셔서 어떤 사람은 사도가 되게 하시고 어떤 사람은 예언자, 어떤 사람은 전도자, 어떤 사람은 목사, 또 어떤 사람은 교사가 되게 하셨습니다.
12 이렇게 여러 가지 직분을 주신 것은 성도들을 온전하게 하여 봉사의 일을 하게 하고 그리스도의 몸 된 교회를 자라게 하기 위한 것입니다.
13 그렇게 되면 우리가 다 하나님의 아들을 믿고 아는 일에 하나가 되고 성숙한 사람이 되어 그리스도의 완전하신 충만에까지 이르게 될 것입니다.
14 이제 우리는 사람의 속임수나 간사한 유혹에 빠져 온갖 교훈의 파도에 이리저리 밀려 다닐 어린 아이가 아닙니다.
15 오히려 우리는 사랑으로 진리를 말하며 모든 일에 머리 되신 그리스도를 닮아가야 합니다.
16 그리스도의 지도를 통하여 온 몸이 완전하게 서로 조화되고 각 지체가 그 기능대로 다른 지체를 도와서 온 몸이 건강하게 자라고 사랑으로 그 몸을 세우게 되는 것입니다.
새로운 삶
17 그러므로 여러분, 내가 주님 안에서 여러분에게 강력히 말합니다. 이제부터 여러분은 이방인들처럼 헛된 생각으로 무가치한 생활을 하지 마십시오.
18 그들은 깨닫는 마음이 어둡고 무지와 고집 때문에 하나님이 주시는 생명을 얻지 못하고 있습니다.
19 그들은 감각이 무뎌져서 부끄러운 줄도 모르고 방탕한 생활을 하며 한없는 욕심으로 온갖 더러운 짓을 하고 있습니다.
20 그러나 여러분은 그리스도를 그렇게 배우지 않았습니다.
21 여러분이 정말 예수님에 대해서 듣고 그분 안에 있는 진리대로 가르침을 받았다면
22 옛날의 생활 방식, 곧 거짓된 욕망으로 부패해 가는 옛 사람을 벗어 버리고
23 마음과 정신이 새롭게 되어
24 하나님의 모습대로 의와 진리의 거룩함으로 창조된 새사람이 되십시오.
25 그러므로 여러분은 거짓을 버리고 각자 자기 이웃에게 진실을 말하십시오. 우리는 모두 한 몸의 지체들입니다.
26 화가 나더라도 죄를 짓지 말고 해가 지기 전에 곧 화를 푸십시오.
27 그렇지 않으면 마귀에게 기회를 주게 됩니다.
28 도둑질하는 사람은 이제부터 도둑질하지 말고 제 손으로 열심히 일하여 선한 일을 하십시오. 그러면 가난한 사람들을 도울 수 있게 될 것입니다.
29 더러운 말은 입 밖에도 내지 말고 기회 있는 대로 남에게 도움이 되는 유익한 말을 하십시오.
30 하나님의 성령을 근심하게 하지 마십시오. [e]성령님은 우리의 구원을 보증해 주시는 분이십니다.
31 여러분은 모든 악독과 격정과 분노와 말다툼과 비방과 모든 악의를 버리고
32 서로 친절하게 대하고 불쌍히 여기며 하나님이 그리스도 안에서 여러분을 용서하신 것같이 서로 용서하십시오.
Ephesians 4
King James Version
4 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, 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 saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
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:
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 Christ:
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.
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,
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:
19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye have not so learned Christ;
21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
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 spirit of your mind;
24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: 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 labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.
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 holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, 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 God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.
Ephesians 4
New King James Version
Walk in Unity
4 I, therefore, the prisoner [a]of the Lord, [b]beseech you to (A)walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit (B)in the bond of peace. 4 (C)There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 (D)one Lord, (E)one faith, (F)one baptism; 6 (G)one God and Father of all, who is above all, and (H)through all, and in [c]you all.
Spiritual Gifts
7 But (I)to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift. 8 Therefore He says:
(J)“When He ascended on high,
He led captivity captive,
And gave gifts to men.”
9 (K)(Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also [d]first descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is also the One (L)who ascended far above all the heavens, (M)that He might fill all things.)
11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, (N)for the [e]edifying of (O)the body of Christ, 13 till we all come to the unity of the faith (P)and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to (Q)a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14 that we should no longer be (R)children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of (S)deceitful plotting, 15 but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the (T)head—Christ— 16 (U)from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
The New Man
17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should (V)no longer walk as [f]the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, 18 having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the (W)blindness of their heart; 19 (X)who, being past feeling, (Y)have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But you have not so learned Christ, 21 if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught by Him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 that you (Z)put off, concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, 23 and (AA)be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and that you (AB)put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
Do Not Grieve the Spirit
25 Therefore, putting away lying, (AC)“Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor,” for (AD)we are members of one another. 26 (AE)“Be angry, and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down on your wrath, 27 (AF)nor give [g]place to the devil. 28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather (AG)let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something (AH)to give him who has need. 29 (AI)Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but (AJ)what is good for necessary [h]edification, (AK)that it may impart grace to the hearers. 30 And (AL)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 (AM)Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, [i]clamor, and (AN)evil speaking be put away from you, (AO)with all malice. 32 And (AP)be kind to one another, tenderhearted, (AQ)forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
