Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Pagkakaisa sa Katawan ni Cristo
4 Kaya't ako na isang bilanggo dahil sa Panginoon ay nakikiusap sa inyo na kayo'y mamuhay nang naaayon sa pagkatawag din sa inyo. 2 Taglayin ninyo ang (A) lubos na pagpapakumbaba at kaamuan, may pagtitiyaga, at pagpaparaya sa isa't isa sa pamamagitan ng pag-ibig. 3 Gawin ninyo ang lahat ng inyong makakaya upang mapanatili ang pagkakaisa ng Espiritu sa buklod ng kapayapaan. 4 May isang katawan at isang Espiritu, kung paanong tinawag kayo sa isang pag-asa ng pagkatawag sa inyo, 5 isang Panginoon, isang pananampalataya, isang bautismo, 6 isang Diyos at Ama ng lahat, na siyang dakila kaysa lahat, at siyang kumikilos sa lahat, at nasa lahat. 7 Ang bawat isa sa atin ay binigyan ng kaloob ayon sa sukat ng kaloob ni Cristo. 8 Kaya't (B) nasusulat,
“Nang umakyat siya sa itaas ay dala niya ang maraming bihag,
at namahagi siya ng mga kaloob sa mga tao.”
9 Sa pagsasabing, “Umakyat siya,” di ba't ipinahihiwatig nito na siya'y bumaba rin sa mas mababang dako ng lupa? 10 Ang bumaba ay siya ring umakyat sa kataas-taasang dako ng kalangitan upang mapuspos niya ang lahat ng bagay. 11 At siya ang nagbigay sa iba ng kaloob na maging apostol, sa iba'y maging propeta, sa iba'y ebanghelista, at sa iba'y pastor at guro. 12 Ito'y upang ihanda ang mga banal para sa gawain ng paglilingkod, tungo sa ikatatatag ng katawan ni Cristo, 13 hanggang marating natin lahat ang pagkakaisa ng pananampalataya, at ang lubos na pagkakilala sa Anak ng Diyos, tungo sa pagiging ganap na tao, hanggang taglayin ang lubos na kabuuan ni Cristo. 14 Sa gayon ay hindi tayo mananatiling mga bata, na tinatangay ng mga alon at dinadala ng kung anu-anong hangin ng aral, sa pamamagitan ng daya at katusuhan ng mga tao sa kanilang mapanlinlang na paraan. 15 Sa halip, sa pagsasabi ng katotohanan na may pag-ibig, dapat tayong lumago sa lahat ng bagay sa kanya, na siyang ulo, walang iba kundi si Cristo. 16 Sa (C) kanya, ang lahat ng mga bahagi ng katawan ay nagkakalapat at pinagbubuklod sa pamamagitan ng pagtulong ng bawat litid. Ang pagganap ng gawain ng bawat bahagi ay nagpapalaki sa katawan at nagpapalakas ng sarili sa pamamagitan ng pag-ibig.
Ang Bagong Buhay kay Cristo
17 Kaya't sinasabi ko ito at pinatototohanan sa harap ng Panginoon, na hindi na kayo dapat mamuhay tulad ng mga pagano. Walang kabuluhan ang laman ng kanilang pag-iisip. 18 Nasa dilim ang kanilang pang-unawa at malayo sa buhay na bigay ng Diyos, dahil sa kanilang kamangmangan at katigasan ng kanilang mga puso. 19 Sila'y nawalan ng kahihiyan at nalulong sa kahalayan, at nawalan ng kabusugan sa paggawa ng sari-saring karumihan. 20 Ngunit hindi ninyo nakilala si Cristo sa ganoong paraan! 21 Kung talagang siya'y inyong narinig at kayo'y naturuan tungkol sa kanya, kung paanong nakay Jesus ang katotohanan, 22 nang (D) hubarin na ninyo ang inyong dating pagkatao, ang dating uri ng pamumuhay na pinasasama ng mapanlinlang na pagnanasa. 23 Baguhin na ninyo ang diwa ng inyong pag-iisip, 24 at (E) ibihis ninyo ang bagong pagkatao, na nilikha ayon sa wangis ng Diyos, sa tunay na katuwiran at kabanalan.
25 Kaya't (F) tigilan na ang pagsisinungaling! Bawat isa ay magsalita ng katotohanan sa kanyang kapwa, sapagkat tayo'y mga bahagi ng isa't isa. 26 Kapag nagagalit kayo (G) huwag kayong magkakasala. Huwag ninyong hayaang lubugan ng araw ang inyong galit, 27 at huwag bigyan ng pagkakataon ang diyablo. 28 Ang nagnanakaw ay tumigil na sa pagnanakaw, sa halip ay magtrabaho siya at gumawa ng mabuti sa pamamagitan ng kanyang sariling mga kamay, upang mayroon siyang maibigay sa nangangailangan. 29 Hindi dapat mamutawi sa inyong bibig ang anumang masamang pananalita, kundi ang mabuting bagay lamang na makapagpapatibay, upang ito ay makatulong sa mga nakikinig. 30 At huwag ninyong palungkutin ang Banal na Espiritu ng Diyos, na sa pamamagitan niya'y tinatakan kayo para sa araw ng pagtubos. 31 Alisin na ninyo ang lahat ng kapaitan, poot, pagkamuhi, pag-aaway, panlalait, pati ang lahat ng uri ng kasamaan. 32 Maging (H) mabait at mahabagin kayo sa isa't isa. Magpatawad kayo sa isa't isa, kung paanong kay Cristo ay pinatawad kayo ng Diyos.

Unity and Maturity in the Body of Christ
4 As a prisoner(A) for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy(B) of the calling(C) you have received. 2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another(D) in love.(E) 3 Make every effort to keep the unity(F) of the Spirit through the bond of peace.(G) 4 There is one body(H) and one Spirit,(I) just as you were called to one hope when you were called(J); 5 one Lord,(K) one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all,(L) who is over all and through all and in all.(M)
7 But to each one of us(N) grace(O) has been given(P) as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it[a] says:
9 (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions[c]? 10 He who descended is the very one who ascended(S) higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.)(T) 11 So Christ himself gave(U) the apostles,(V) the prophets,(W) the evangelists,(X) the pastors and teachers,(Y) 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ(Z) may be built up(AA) 13 until we all reach unity(AB) in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God(AC) and become mature,(AD) attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.(AE)
14 Then we will no longer be infants,(AF) tossed back and forth by the waves,(AG) and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.(AH) 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love,(AI) we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head,(AJ) that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows(AK) and builds itself up(AL) in love,(AM) as each part does its work.
Instructions for Christian Living
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer(AN) live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.(AO) 18 They are darkened in their understanding(AP) and separated from the life of God(AQ) because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.(AR) 19 Having lost all sensitivity,(AS) they have given themselves over(AT) to sensuality(AU) so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
20 That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off(AV) your old self,(AW) which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires;(AX) 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds;(AY) 24 and to put on(AZ) the new self,(BA) created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.(BB)
25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully(BC) to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body.(BD) 26 “In your anger do not sin”[d]:(BE) Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold.(BF) 28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work,(BG) doing something useful with their own hands,(BH) that they may have something to share with those in need.(BI)
29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths,(BJ) but only what is helpful for building others up(BK) according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God,(BL) with whom you were sealed(BM) for the day of redemption.(BN) 31 Get rid of(BO) all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice.(BP) 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,(BQ) forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.(BR)

Ephesians 4
King James Version
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.

Unity in the Body of Christ
4 I therefore, (A)a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to (B)walk in a manner worthy of (C)the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all (D)humility and (E)gentleness, with (F)patience, (G)bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in (H)the bond of peace. 4 There is (I)one body and (J)one Spirit—just as you were called to the one (K)hope that belongs to your call— 5 (L)one Lord, (M)one faith, (N)one baptism, 6 (O)one God and Father of all, (P)who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But (Q)grace was given (R)to each one of us (S)according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it says,
9 ((V)In saying, “He ascended,” what does it mean but that he had also descended into (W)the lower regions, the earth?[b] 10 He who descended is the one who also (X)ascended (Y)far above all the heavens, that he might (Z)fill all things.) 11 And (AA)he gave the (AB)apostles, the prophets, the (AC)evangelists, the (AD)shepherds[c] and teachers,[d] 12 (AE)to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for (AF)building up (AG)the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to (AH)the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, (AI)to mature manhood,[e] to the measure of the stature of (AJ)the fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be children, (AK)tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in (AL)deceitful schemes. 15 Rather, (AM)speaking the truth in love, we are to (AN)grow up in every way into him who is (AO)the head, into Christ, 16 (AP)from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, (AQ)when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.
The New Life
17 Now this I say and (AR)testify in the Lord, (AS)that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, (AT)in the futility of their minds. 18 They (AU)are darkened in their understanding, (AV)alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to (AW)their hardness of heart. 19 They (AX)have become callous and (AY)have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. 20 But that is not the way you (AZ)learned Christ!— 21 assuming that (BA)you have heard about him and (BB)were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, 22 to (BC)put off (BD)your old self,[f] which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through (BE)deceitful desires, 23 and (BF)to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on (BG)the new self, (BH)created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you (BI)speak the truth with his neighbor, for (BJ)we are members one of another. 26 (BK)Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and (BL)give no opportunity to the devil. 28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather (BM)let him labor, (BN)doing honest work with his own hands, so (BO)that he may have something to share with anyone in need. 29 (BP)Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give (BQ)grace to those who hear. 30 And (BR)do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, (BS)by whom you were sealed for the day of (BT)redemption. 31 (BU)Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 (BV)Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, (BW)forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
