³ And if I go, and make ready to you a place, again I come, and I shall take you to myself, that where I am, ye be.

⁴ And whither I go, ye know, and ye know the way.

⁵ Thomas saith to him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest, and how be we able to know the way [and how may we know the way]?

⁶ Jesus saith to him, I am way, truth, and life; no man cometh to the Father, but by me.

²⁴ He that loveth me not, keepeth not my words; and the word which ye have heard, is not mine, but the Father's, that sent me.

²⁵ These things I have spoken to you, dwelling among you;

²⁶ but that Holy Ghost, the comforter, whom the Father shall send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and shall show to you all things, whatever things I shall say to you [he shall teach you all things, and shall show, or remember, to you all things, whatever I shall say to you].

²⁷ Peace I leave to you, my peace I give to you; not as the world giveth, I give to you; be not your heart afraid, nor dread it [be not your heart troubled, neither dread it].

²⁸ Ye have heard, that I said to you, I go, and come to you. If ye loved me, forsooth ye should have joy [If ye loved me, forsooth ye should joy], for I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

²⁹ And now I have said to you, before that it be done [before it be done], that when it is done, ye believe.

³⁰ Now I shall not speak many things with you; for the prince of this world cometh, and hath not in me any thing [and he hath not any thing in me].

³¹ But that the world know, that I love the Father; and as the Father gave a commandment to me, so I do. Rise ye, go we hence.

²⁸ He that trusteth in his riches, shall fall; but just men shall burgeon as a green leaf (but the righteous shall flourish like the green leaves).

²⁹ He that troubleth his house, shall have (the) winds in possession; and he that is a fool, shall serve a wise man.

4 Therefore I bound for the Lord beseech you, that ye walk worthily in the calling, in which ye be called,

² with all meekness and mildness, with patience supporting each other in charity [with patience supporting, or up-bearing, together in charity],

³ busy to keep unity of Spirit in the bond of peace.

⁴ One body and one Spirit, as ye be called in one hope of your calling;

⁵ one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

⁶ one God and Father of all, which is above all men, and by all things, and in us all.

⁷ But to each of us grace is given by the measure of the giving of Christ [after the measure of the giving of Christ];

⁸ for which thing he saith, He ascending on high, led captivity captive, he gave gifts to men.

⁹ But what is it, that he ascended up, no but that also he came down first into the lower parts of the earth? [Forsooth that he ascended, what is it, no but for he descended first into the lower parts of the earth?]

¹⁰ He it is that came down, and that ascended [up] on all heavens, that he should fill all things.

¹¹ And he gave some apostles, some prophets, others evangelists, others shepherds and teachers,

¹² to the full ending of saints, into the work of ministry, into [the] edification of Christ's body,

¹³ till we run all, into unity of faith and of knowing of God's Son, into a perfect man, after the measure of the age of the plenty of Christ; [till we run all, in unity of faith and of knowing of God's Son, into a perfect man, into the measure of age of the plenty of Christ;]

¹⁴ that we be not now little children, moving as waves, and be not borne about with each wind of teaching [and be borne about with all wind of teaching], in the waywardness of men, in subtle wit, to the deceiving of error.

¹⁵ But do we truth in charity, and wax in him by all things, that is Christ our head; [Forsooth we doing truth in charity, wax in him by all things, that is Christ the head;]

¹⁶ of whom all the body set together, and bound together by each jointure of under-serving, by working into the measure of each member [after working into the measure of each member], maketh increasing of the body, into [the] edification of itself in charity.

¹⁷ Therefore I say and witness this thing in the Lord [Therefore this thing I say, and witness in the Lord], that ye walk not now, as heathen men walk, in the vanity of their wit;

¹⁸ that have understanding darkened with darknesses [having their understanding darkened], and be aliened from the life of God, by ignorance that is in them, for the blindness of their heart.

¹⁹ Which despairing betook themselves to unchastity, into the working of all uncleanness in covetousness.

²⁰ But ye have not so learned Christ,

²¹ if nevertheless ye heard him, and be taught in him, as is truth in Jesus.

²² Do ye away by the old living the old man, that is corrupt by the desires of error; [Do ye away after the first living the old man, that is corrupt after the desires of error;]

²³ and be ye renewed in the spirit of your soul;^[a]

²⁴ and clothe ye the new man, which is made after God in rightwiseness and holiness of truth. [and clothe ye the new man, which after God is made of nought in rightwiseness and holiness of truth.]

²⁵ For which thing put ye away lying, and speak ye truth each man with his neighbour, for we be members each to other. [For which thing putting away lying, speak truth each man with his neighbour, for we be members together.]

²⁶ Be ye wroth, and do not do sin; the sun fall not down on your wrath [the sun fall not down upon your wrath].

²⁷ Do not ye give stead to the devil.

²⁸ He that stole, now steal he not; but more rather travail he in working with his hands that that is good, that he have whereof he shall give to the needy. [He that stole, now steal not; but more travail he in working with his hands that that is good thing, that he have whereof he shall give to a man suffering need.]

²⁹ Each evil word go not out of your mouth; but if any is good to the edification of faith, that it give grace to men that hear [that it give grace to men hearing].

³⁰ And do not ye make the Holy Ghost of God sorry [And do not ye make the Holy Ghost of God sorry, or heavy], in which ye be marked in the day of redemption.

³¹ All bitterness, and wrath, and indignation, and cry, and blasphemy be taken away from you, with all malice;

³² and be ye together benign [forsooth be ye together benign, or of good will], merciful, forgiving together, as also God forgave to you in Christ.
