Ephesians 4

¹I therefore, being prisoner in the Lord, praie you that yee walke worthie of the vocation whereunto yee are called,

²With all humblenesse of minde, and meekenesse, with long suffering, supporting one an other through loue,

³Endeuouring to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

⁴There is one body, and one Spirit, euen as yee are called in one hope of your vocation.

⁵There is one Lord, one Faith, one Baptisme,

⁶One God and Father of all, which is aboue all, and through all, and in you all.

⁷But vnto euery one of vs is giuen grace, according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

⁸Wherfore he saith, Whe he asceded vp on hie, he led captiuity captiue, and gaue gifts vnto men.

⁹(Nowe, in that hee ascended, what is it but that he had also descended first into the lowest partes of the earth?

¹⁰Hee that descended, is euen the same that ascended, farre aboue all heauens, that hee might fill all things)

¹¹Hee therefore gaue some to be Apostles, and some Prophets, and some Euangelists, and some Pastours, and Teachers,

¹²For the repairing of the Saintes, for the woorke of the ministerie, and for the edification of the bodie of Christ,

¹³Till we all meete together (in the vnitie of faith and that acknowledging of the Sonne of God) vnto a perfite man, and vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christ,
