THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS

Latin	English
[1] obsecro itaque vos ego vinctus in Domino ut digne ambuletis vocatione qua vocati estis	I therefore, a prisoner in the Lord, beseech you that you walk worthy of the vocation in which you are called:
[2] cum omni humilitate et mansuetudine cum patientia subportantes invicem in caritate	With all humility and mildness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.
[3] solliciti servare unitatem spiritus in vinculo pacis	Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
[4] unum corpus et unus spiritus sicut vocati estis in una spe vocationis vestrae	One body and one Spirit: as you are called in one hope of your calling.
[5] unus Dominus una fides unum baptisma	One Lord, one faith, one baptism.
[6] unus Deus et Pater omnium qui super omnes et per omnia et in omnibus nobis	One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all.
[7] unicuique autem nostrum data est gratia secundum mensuram donationis Christi	But to every one of us is given grace, according to the measure of the giving of Christ.
[8] propter quod dicit ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivitatem dedit dona hominibus	Wherefore he saith: Ascending on high, he led captivity captive: he gave gifts to men.
[9] quod autem ascendit quid est nisi quia et descendit primum in inferiores partes terrae	Now that he ascended, what is it, but because he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
[10] qui descendit ipse est et qui ascendit super omnes caelos ut impleret omnia	He that descended is the same also that ascended above all the heavens: that he might fill all things.
[11] et ipse dedit quosdam quidem apostolos quosdam autem prophetas alios vero evangelistas alios autem pastores et doctores	And he gave some apostles, and some prophets, and other some evangelists, and other some pastors and doctors:
[12] ad consummationem sanctorum in opus ministerii in aedificationem corporis Christi	For the perfecting of the saints, for the word of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13] donec occurramus omnes in unitatem fidei et agnitionis Filii Dei in virum perfectum in mensuram aetatis plenitudinis Christi	Until we all meet into the unity of faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the age of the fulness of Christ:
[14] ut iam non simus parvuli fluctuantes et circumferamur omni vento doctrinae in nequitia hominum in astutia ad circumventionem erroris	That henceforth we be no more children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the wickedness of men, by cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive.
[15] veritatem autem facientes in caritate crescamus in illo per omnia qui est caput Christus	But doing the truth in charity, we may in all things grow up in him who is the head, even Christ:
[16] ex quo totum corpus conpactum et conexum per omnem iuncturam subministrationis secundum operationem in mensuram uniuscuiusque membri augmentum corporis facit in aedificationem sui in caritate	From whom the whole body, being compacted and fitly joined together, by what every joint supplieth, according to the operation in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body, unto the edifying of itself in charity.
[17] hoc igitur dico et testificor in Domino ut iam non ambuletis sicut gentes ambulant in vanitate sensus sui	This then I say and testify in the Lord: That henceforward you walk not as also the Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind:
[18] tenebris obscuratum habentes intellectum alienati a vita Dei per ignorantiam quae est in illis propter caecitatem cordis ipsorum	Having their understanding darkened: being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their hearts.
[19] qui desperantes semet ipsos tradiderunt inpudicitiae in operationem inmunditiae omnis in avaritia	Who despairing have given themselves up to lasciviousness, unto the working of all uncleanness, unto covetousness.
[20] vos autem non ita didicistis Christum	But you have not so learned Christ:
[21] si tamen illum audistis et in ipso edocti estis sicut est veritas in Iesu	If so be that you have heard him and have been taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus:
[22] deponere vos secundum pristinam conversationem veterem hominem qui corrumpitur secundum desideria erroris	To put off, according to former conversation, the old man, who is corrupted according to the desire of error.
[23] renovamini autem spiritu mentis vestrae	And be renewed in spirit of your mind:
[24] et induite novum hominem qui secundum Deum creatus est in iustitia et sanctitate veritatis	And put on the new man, who according to God is created in justice and holiness of truth.
[25] propter quod deponentes mendacium loquimini veritatem unusquisque cum proximo suo quoniam sumus invicem membra	Wherefore, putting away lying, speak ye the truth, every man with his neighbour. For we are members one of another.
[26] irascimini et nolite peccare sol non occidat super iracundiam vestram	Be angry: and sin not. Let not the sun go down upon your anger.
[27] nolite locum dare diabolo	Give not place to the devil.
[28] qui furabatur iam non furetur magis autem laboret operando manibus quod bonum est ut habeat unde tribuat necessitatem patienti	He that stole, let him now steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him that suffereth need.
[29] omnis sermo malus ex ore vestro non procedat sed si quis bonus ad aedificationem oportunitatis ut det gratiam audientibus	Let no evil speech proceed from your mouth: but that which is good, to the edification of faith: that it may administer grace to the hearers.
[30] et nolite contristare Spiritum Sanctum Dei in quo signati estis in die redemptionis	And grieve not the holy Spirit of God: whereby you are sealed unto the day of redemption.
[31] omnis amaritudo et ira et indignatio et clamor et blasphemia tollatur a vobis cum omni malitia	Let all bitterness and anger and indignation and clamour and blasphemy be put away from you, with all malice.
[32] estote autem invicem benigni misericordes donantes invicem sicut et Deus in Christo donavit nobis	And be ye kind one to another: merciful, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you in Christ.
