以弗所书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
信徒同属一体
4 所以，我这为主被囚禁的劝你们，既然蒙了上帝的呼召，就要过与所蒙的呼召相称的生活。 2 凡事要谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心互相宽容， 3 以和平彼此联结，竭力持守圣灵所赐的合一。 4 正如你们蒙召后有同一个盼望，你们同属一个身体，有同一位圣灵、 5 同一位主、同一个信仰、同一种洗礼、 6 同一位上帝，就是万物之父。祂超越万物，贯穿万物，且在万物之中。
7 然而，我们各人都是按照基督所赐的分量领受恩典。 8 因此圣经上说：
“祂升上高天时，
带着许多俘虏，
将恩赐赏给众人。”
9 既然说“升上”，岂不表示祂曾经降到地上吗？ 10 降下的是祂，升到诸天之上的也是祂，祂充满万物。 11 祂赐恩让一些人做使徒，一些人做先知，一些人做传福音的，一些人做牧师和教师， 12 为要装备信徒，使他们各尽其职，建立基督的身体， 13 直到我们对上帝的儿子有一致的信仰和认识，逐渐成熟，达到基督那样完美的生命。 14 这样，我们就不再像小孩子，被各种异端邪说之风吹得飘来飘去，被人的阴谋诡计欺骗，随波逐流。 15 相反，我们说话要凭爱心坚持真理，在各方面都要追求长进，更像元首基督。 16 整个身体靠祂巧妙地结合在一起，筋骨相连，彼此供应，使各部位各尽其职，身体便渐渐长大，在爱中建立起来。
新人新生命
17 因此，我奉主的名郑重地劝告各位，不要再像不信的外族人一样过着心灵空虚的日子。 18 他们因为愚昧无知，顽固不化，理智受到蒙蔽，与上帝所赐的生命隔绝了。 19 他们丧尽天良，放纵情欲，沉溺于各种污秽的事。 20 但基督绝不是这样教导你们的。
21 如果你们听过祂的事，领受了祂的教诲，就是在祂里面的真理， 22 就应该与从前的生活方式一刀两断，脱去因私欲的迷惑而渐渐败坏的旧人， 23 洗心革面， 24 穿上照着上帝形象所造的新人。这新人有从真理而来的公义和圣洁。
25 所以不要再说谎，大家都要彼此说真话，因为我们都是一个身体的肢体。 26 不要因生气而犯罪，不要到日落时还怒气未消， 27 不要让魔鬼有机可乘。 28 从前偷窃的要改过自新，自食其力，做正当事，以便能够分给有需要的人。 29 污言秽语一句都不可出口，要随时随地说造就人的好话，使听的人得益处。 30 不要让上帝的圣灵担忧，你们已经盖上了圣灵的印记，将来必蒙救赎。 31 要从你们当中除掉一切的苦毒、恼恨、怒气、争吵、毁谤和邪恶。 32 总要以恩慈、怜悯的心彼此相待，要互相饶恕，正如上帝在基督里饶恕了你们一样。
以弗所书 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
肢体的联系
4 因此，我这为主被囚禁的劝你们：行事为人，要配得上你们所蒙的呼召， 2 凡事谦虚、温柔、忍耐，用爱心彼此宽容； 3 以和睦联系，竭力持守圣灵所赐的合一。 4 身体只有一个，圣灵只有一位，就像你们蒙召只是借着一个盼望。 5 主只有一位，信仰只有一个，洗礼只有一种； 6 神只有一位，就是万有的父。他超越万有，贯彻万有，并且在万有之中。
7 我们各人蒙恩，是照着基督量给我们的恩赐。 8 所以他说：
“他升上高天的时候，
掳了许多俘虏，
把赏赐给了人。”
9 （“他升上”这句话是甚么意思呢？他不是也曾降到地上吗？ 10 那降下的，就是那升到诸天之上的，为了要使他充满万有。） 11 他所赐的，有作使徒的，有作先知的，有作传福音的，也有作牧养和教导的， 12 为的是要装备圣徒，去承担圣工，建立基督的身体； 13 直到我们众人对 神的儿子都有一致的信仰和认识，可以长大成人，达到基督丰盛长成的身量； 14 使我们不再作小孩子，中了人的诡计和骗人的手段，给异教之风摇撼，飘来飘去， 15 却要在爱中过诚实的生活，在各方面长进，达到基督的身量。他是教会的头， 16 全身靠着他，借着每一个关节的支持，照着每部分的功用，配合联系起来，使身体渐渐长大，在爱中建立自己。
要穿上新人
17 所以，我要这样说，并且要在主里肯定地说：你们行事为人不要再像教外人，存着虚妄的意念。 18 他们的心思昏昧，因为自己无知，心里刚硬，就与 神所赐的生命隔绝了。 19 他们既然麻木不仁，就任凭自己放纵情欲，贪行各样污秽的事。 20 但是你们从基督所学的，却不是这样。 21 如果你们听了他，在他里面受过教导，（因为真理是在耶稣里的，） 22 就要除去你们那照着从前生活方式而活的旧人。这旧人是随着迷惑人的私欲渐渐败坏的。 23 你们要把心灵更换一新， 24 并且穿上新人。这新人是照着 神的形象，在公义和真实的圣洁里创造的。
新人的表现
25 所以，你们要除掉谎言，各人要与邻舍说真话，因为我们彼此是肢体。 26 生气却不要犯罪；含怒不可到日落。 27 不可给魔鬼留地步。 28 偷窃的，不要再偷，却要作工，亲手作正当的事，使自己可以把所得到的，分给缺乏的人。 29 一句坏话也不可出口，却要适当地说造就人的好话，使听见的人得益处。 30 不可让 神的圣灵忧伤，因为你们受了他的印记，等候得赎的日子。 31 一切苛刻、恼怒、暴戾、嚷闹、毁谤，连同一切恶毒，都应当从你们中间除掉。 32 要互相友爱，存温柔的心，彼此饶恕，就像 神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。

信徒同屬一體
4 所以，我這為主被囚禁的勸你們，既然蒙了上帝的呼召，就要過與所蒙的呼召相稱的生活。 2 凡事要謙虛、溫柔、忍耐，用愛心互相寬容， 3 以和平彼此聯結，竭力持守聖靈所賜的合一。 4 正如你們蒙召後有同一個盼望，你們同屬一個身體，有同一位聖靈、 5 同一位主、同一個信仰、同一種洗禮、 6 同一位上帝，就是萬物之父。祂超越萬物，貫穿萬物，且在萬物之中。
7 然而，我們各人都是按照基督所賜的分量領受恩典。 8 因此聖經上說：

帶著許多俘虜，
將恩賜賞給眾人。」
9 既然說「升上」，豈不表示祂曾經降到地上嗎？ 10 降下的是祂，升到諸天之上的也是祂，祂充滿萬物。 11 祂賜恩讓一些人作使徒，一些人作先知，一些人作傳福音的，一些人作牧師和教師， 12 為要裝備信徒，使他們各盡其職，建立基督的身體， 13 直到我們對上帝的兒子有一致的信仰和認識，逐漸成熟，達到基督那樣完美的生命。 14 這樣，我們就不再像小孩子，被各種異端邪說之風吹得飄來飄去，被人的陰謀詭計欺騙，隨波逐流。 15 相反，我們說話要憑愛心堅持真理，在各方面都要追求長進，更像元首基督。 16 整個身體靠祂巧妙地結合在一起，筋骨相連，彼此供應，使各部位各盡其職，身體便漸漸長大，在愛中建立起來。

17 因此，我奉主的名鄭重地勸告各位，不要再像不信的外族人一樣過著心靈空虛的日子。 18 他們因為愚昧無知，頑固不化，理智受到蒙蔽，與上帝所賜的生命隔絕了。 19 他們喪盡天良，放縱情慾，沉溺於各種污穢的事。 20 但基督絕不是這樣教導你們的。
21 如果你們聽過祂的事，領受了祂的教誨，就是在祂裡面的真理， 22 就應該與從前的生活方式一刀兩斷，脫去因私慾的迷惑而漸漸敗壞的舊人， 23 洗心革面， 24 穿上照著上帝形像所造的新人。這新人有從真理而來的公義和聖潔。
25 所以不要再說謊，大家都要彼此說真話，因為我們都是一個身體的肢體。 26 不要因生氣而犯罪，不要到日落時還怒氣未消， 27 不要讓魔鬼有機可乘。 28 從前偷竊的要改過自新，自食其力，做正當事，以便能夠分給有需要的人。 29 污言穢語一句都不可出口，要隨時隨地說造就人的好話，使聽的人得益處。 30 不要讓上帝的聖靈擔憂，你們已經蓋上了聖靈的印記，將來必蒙救贖。 31 要從你們當中除掉一切的苦毒、惱恨、怒氣、爭吵、毀謗和邪惡。 32 總要以恩慈、憐憫的心彼此相待，要互相饒恕，正如上帝在基督裡饒恕了你們一樣。
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.
Kehillah in Ephesus 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Therefore I impart chizzuk (strengthening) to you, I, the prisoner of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, and I admonish you to walk and fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech in a manner worthy of the kri’ah by which you were called,
2 With all anavah (humility) of mind and meekness, with savlanut (longsuffering), showing forbearance to one another in ahavah,
3 Being eager to keep the achdus (unity) of the Ruach Hakodesh in the uniting bond of shalom;
4 As there is one guf (body) [Gn 47:18; Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 53:11] and one Ruach Hakodesh, as also you were called in one tikvah (hope) of your kri’ah:
5 Adon echad, emunah achat, tevilah achat,
6 One G-d and Avi khol (Father of all), who is over all and through all and in all. [DEVARIM 6:4; ZECHARYAH 14:9]
7 But to each of us was given the Chen v’Chesed Hashem according to the measure of the Matnat HaMoshiach.
8 Therefore it says, ALITA LAMMAROM SHAVITA SHEVI LAKACHTA MATANOT ("You ascended to the height, you led captive, you received gifts" TEHILLIM 68:19 [18]), He has led captive a host of captives, He had brought matanot (gifts) to Bnei Adam.
9 Now if He "ASCENDED" what can it mean except that also He descended into the lower parts of ha’aretz?
10 The one who descended is Himself also the one having ascended far above all the Shomayim, that He might fill all things. [MISHLE 30:1-4]
11 And He gave some to be shlichim, and some nevi’im, and some gifted to be used in Kiruv efforts for Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and some supervising mashgichim ruchaniyim (spiritual overseers) who are ro’im and morim in the Kehillah,
12 For the equipping of the Kadoshim for the work of avodas kodesh ministry, to the building up of HaGuf HaMoshiach
13 Until we all attain to the achdus (unity) of the emunah and to the da’as (knowledge) of the Ben HaElohim, to the Bnei Chayil maturity, to the measure of the stature of the melo (plentitude) of Moshiach.
14 In this way, we are no longer olalim (infants) tossed by waves and carried around by every wind of limmud (instruction), by the cunning of Bnei Adam, with craftiness leading to the scheming of remiyah (deceit) and madduchei shav (delusion); [YESHAYAH 57:20]
15 But telling HaEmes in ahavah, let us grow up in every respect unto Him who is the Rosh, Moshiach,
16 From whom all HaGuf HaMoshiach being fitly joined together and being united in an agudah binding by that which every joint contributes according as each part’s proper working process promotes the growth of HaGuf HaMoshiach in building itself up in ahavah.
17 This therefore I say and give solemn edut in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu: no longer are you to fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech as also the Goyim walk, in the futility of their machshavot (thoughts),
18 Their binah (understanding) being in choshech, having been alienated from the life of Hashem because of the ignorance existing in them, because of the KESHI (stubbornness, hardness DEVARIM 9:27) of their levavot, [DEVARIM 29:4]
19 Who, having put away remorse, gave themselves over to zimah (lewdness) for the practice of every kind of tumah (uncleanness) with chamdanut (covetousness).
20 But you did not so have lernen of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach,
21 If indeed you heard about Him and took shiurim in Him, as HaEmes is in Yehoshua.
22 For the torah you received was that you must disrobe from your former derech of your old self, the one being corrupted according to the ta’avot of AKOV [deceitful, YIRMEYAH 17:9] remiyah (guile)
23 And to be renewed by the Ruach Hakodesh controlling your machshavot (thoughts)
24 And to enrobe yourself in the Adam HeChadash (the new Man, humanity) having been created according to the demut Hashem in tzidkat Eloheinu and in the kedushah of HaEmes.
25 Therefore, disrobed from Sheker (Falsehood, Lying], let us speak HaEmes [ZECHARYAH 8:16], each one with his re’a (neighbor), because we are evarim (members) one of another. [Ps 15:2; Lev 19:11]
26 Have ka’as and do not sin; do not let the shemesh go down on your anger. [TEHILLIM 4:4]
27 Do not give opportunity to Hasatan.
28 Let the one stealing no longer be a ganav, but rather let the ganav get a parnasah (livelihood) and toil with his own hands at something beneficial, that he may have something to share with the one who is nitzrach (needy).
29 Let no lashon hora proceed out of your peh, but only a dvar that is tov, for edification in accordance with the need, that it may mediate Chen v’Chesed Hashem to the ones hearing.
30 And do not grieve the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem, by whom you were sealed for the Yom HaGeulah. [YESHAYAH 63:10]
31 Let all merirut lev (bitterness) and ka’as and wrath and clamor and lashon hora be removed from you, with all resha.
32 And have Chen v’Chesed graciousness with one another. Be kind, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, as also Hashem in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach forgave you.
