| Ephesians 4:8 |
Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of prisoners captive; he gave gifts to (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) men.” |
| Ephesians 4:9 |
Now the (to | τό | nom sg neut) expression “he ascended,” what does it imply except that he also descended to the (ta | τά | acc pl neut) lower regions, to the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) earth? |
| Ephesians 4:10 |
He (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) who descended is himself the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) one who also ascended far above all the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) heavens, so that he might fill all things. |
| Ephesians 4:11 |
And it was he who gave the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) apostles, the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) prophets, the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) evangelists, the (tous | τούς | acc pl masc) pastors and teachers, |
| Ephesians 4:12 |
to equip the (tōn | τῶν | gen pl masc) saints for the work of ministry, to build up the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) body of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ, |
| Ephesians 4:13 |
until we all attain to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) unity of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) faith and of the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) knowledge of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Son of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God, to mature adulthood, to the measure of the stature of the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) fullness of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) Christ, |
| Ephesians 4:14 |
so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and blown about by every wind of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; |
| Ephesians 4:15 |
but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in every way into him who is the (hē | ἡ | nom sg fem) head, Christ, |
| Ephesians 4:16 |
from whom the (to | τό | nom sg neut) whole body, joined and brought together by every supporting ligament, according to the working of each individual part, makes the (tou | τοῦ | gen sg neut) body grow so that it builds itself up in love. |
| Ephesians 4:17 |
Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you are no longer to live as the (ta | τά | nom pl neut) Gentiles live, in the futility of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) their minds, |
| Ephesians 4:18 |
being darkened in their (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) understanding, separated from the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) life of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God because of the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) ignorance that (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) is in them due to the (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) hardening of (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) their hearts. |
| Ephesians 4:19 |
Having lost all feeling of shame, they have given themselves over to (tē | τῇ | dat sg fem) debauchery for the practice of every kind of impurity with covetousness. |
| Ephesians 4:20 |
But that is not the way you learned Christ! — |
| Ephesians 4:21 |
assuming that you have heard of him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus. |
| Ephesians 4:22 |
Regarding your (tēn | τήν | acc sg fem) former way of life, you were taught to put away your (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) old self, which (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) is being corrupted and deluded by its (tas | τάς | acc pl fem) desires, |
| Ephesians 4:23 |
and to be renewed in the (tō | τῷ | dat sg neut) spirit of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) your minds. |
| Ephesians 4:24 |
And to put on the (ton | τόν | acc sg masc) new self, created in God’s likeness, in the righteousness and holiness that come from the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) truth. |
| Ephesians 4:25 |
Therefore put off falsehood and let each one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. |
| Ephesians 4:26 |
If you get angry, do not sin; do not allow the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) sun to go down on your anger |
| Ephesians 4:27 |
and do not give an opportunity to the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) devil. |
| Ephesians 4:28 |
Let the (ho | ὁ | nom sg masc) thief no longer steal, but rather let him work hard, doing good with (tais | ταῖς | dat pl fem) his own hands, so that he may have something to share with the (tō | τῷ | dat sg masc) one in need. |
| Ephesians 4:29 |
Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is useful for building up, as the (tēs | τῆς | gen sg fem) need arises, that it may benefit those (tois | τοῖς | dat pl masc) who hear. |
| Ephesians 4:30 |
And do not grieve the (to | τό | acc sg neut) Holy Spirit of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. |
| Ephesians 4:32 |
Instead, be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you. |
| Ephesians 5:1 |
Therefore be imitators of (tou | τοῦ | gen sg masc) God as his dear children, |
