Chap. IIII.
He exhorteth them to keepe the vnitie of the Church most carefully vvith al humilitie,
bringing them many motiues therevnto: 7 and ansvvering that euen the diuersitie
it self of offices is not for diuision, as being the gift of Christ him self, but to
build vp the Church, and to hold al in the vnitie thereof against the suttle circumuentions
of Heretikes: that vnder Christ the head, in the Church being the body,
euery member may prosper. 17 Neither (at touching life) must vve liue like the
Heathen, but as it becommeth Christians, laying of al our old corrupt maners, and
increasing daily in al goodnes.
1 noteI Therfore prisoner in our Lord, beseeche you,
that you vvalke vvorthy of the vocation in
vvhich you are called,
2 vvith al humilitie &
mildenes, vvith patience, supporting one
an other in charitie,
3 careful to keepe the
vnitie of the spirit in the bond of peace.
4 One body and
one spirit: as you are called in one hope of your vocation.
5 One Lord,09Q1223 one faith, one baptisme.
6 noteOne God and
Father of al, vvhich is ouer al, and by al, and in al vs. &cross4; note
7 But
note to euery one of vs is giuen grace according to the measure
of the donation of Christ.
8 For the vvhich he saith, Asc&ebar;ding
on high, he ledde captiuitie captiue: be gaue giftes to men. note
9 (And that he
ascended, vvhat is it, but because he descended also first into
the note inferiour partes of the earth?
10 He that descended, the
same is also he that is ascended aboue al the heauens, that he
might fill al things.)
11 And note he gaue,09Q1224 some Apostles, and
some Prophets, and othersome Euangelists, and othersome
pastors and doctors,
12 to the consummation of the sainctes,
vnto the vvorke of the ministerie, vnto the edifying of the
body of Christ:
13 09Q1225vntil we meete al into the vnitie of faith
and knovvledge of the sonne of God, into a perfect man,
into the measure of the age of the fulnes of Christ: &cross4;
14 that
novv vve be not children vvauering, and caried about09Q1226 vvith
euery vvinde of doctrine in the vvickednes of men, in crastines
to the circumuention of errour.
15 But doing the truth
in charitie, let vs in al things grow in him, vvhich is the head,
-- --
Christ:
16 of vvhom the vvhole body being compacte and
knit together by al iuncture of subministration, according
to the operation in the measure of euery member, maketh the
increase of the body vnto the edifying of it self in charitie.
17 This therfore I say and testifie in our Lord: that novv
you vvalke not as also the note Gentiles vvalke in the vanitie of
their sense,
18 hauing their vnderstanding obscured vvith
darkenes, alienated from the life of God by the ignorance
that is in them, because of the blindenes of their hart,
19 vvho
despairing, note haue giuen vp them selues to impudicitie, vnto
the operation of al vncleannes, vnto auarice.
20 But you haue
not so learned Christ:
21 if yet you haue heard him, and haue
been taught in him, (as the truth is in Iesvs.) &cross4;
22 noteLay you
avvay, according to the old conuersation the old man, vvhich
is corrupted according to the desires of errour.
23 And note be
renevved in the spirit of your minde:
24 and put on the nevv
man vvhich according to God is created in iustice, and holinesse
of the truth.
25 For the vvhich cause laying avvay lying,
note speake ye truth euery one vvith his neighbour, because vve
are members one of an other.
26 noteBe angrie and sinne not. let not the sonne goe dovvne
vpon your anger.
27 Giue not place to the Deuil.
28 He that
stole, let him novv not steale: but rather let him labour in
vvorking vvith his handes that vvhich is good, that he may
haue vvhence to giue vnto him that suffereth necessitie.
29 Al
naughtie speache let it not proceede out of your mouth: but
if there be any good to the edifying of the faith, that it may
giue grace to the hearers.
30 And contristate not the holy Spirit
of God: in vvhich you are signed vnto the day of redemption.
31 Let al bitternes, and anger, and indignation, and clamour,
and blasphemie be taken avvay from you vvith al malice.
32 And be gentle one to an other, merciful, pardoning one
an other, as also God in Christ hath pardoned you.
