I therefore beg of you, I a prisoner in our Master, that you walk as is fitting for the calling with which you were called,

with all lowliness of mind and quietness and long-suffering, and be forbearing one toward another in love.

And be diligent to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace,

that you may be in one body and in one spirit, as you were called in one hope of your calling.

For there is one Master YHWH, and one faith, and one immersion,

and one Elohim, the Father of all, and over all, and through all, and in us all.

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of the Mashiyach.

Therefore it is said: He ascended on high and led captivity captive and gave gifts to the sons of men.

Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also first descended to the lower regions of the earth?

He who descended is the same who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fulfill all.

And he gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as proclaimers, and some as shepherds and teachers,

for the perfecting of the holy ones, for the work of the ministry, for the building up of the body of the Mashiyach;

until we all become one thing in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of Elohim, and one complete man in the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Mashiyach

and we will not be children who are tossed and changed by every wind of the crafty teaching of men, those who in their craftiness scheme to lead astray

but we will be true in our love, so that everything of ours will grow in the Mashiyach, who is the head

and from him it is the whole body is joined and knit together by every joint according to the gift that is given by measure to every member for the growth of the body, that its building may be completed in love

And this I say and testify in Master YHWH, that from now on you will not walk as the rest of the peoples who walk in the emptiness of their mind

and they are darkened in their understanding, and are strangers from the life of Elohim, because there is no knowledge in them, and because of the blindness of their heart

Those who have cut off their hope and have given themselves over to wantonness and to the working of all uncleanness in their greediness.

But you have not so learned the Mashiyach;

if you have truly heard him, and in him have learned, as the truth is in Y'shua.

but that you put off from yourselves your former way of life, that old man who is corrupted by the lusts of error,

and be renewed in the spirit of your minds;

and put on the new man that was created by Elohim in righteousness and in the holiness of truth.

Therefore put away from you lying, and speak the truth each with his neighbor; for we are members one of another.

Be angry and do not sin; and do not let the sun go down on your anger.

And do not give place to the Accuser.

And he who was stealing, let him steal no more, but let him labor with his hands and work what is good, that he may have to give to him who is in need.

Let no hateful word come out of your mouth, but only what is good and useful for building up, that it may give grace to those who hear.

And do not grieve the Ruach haKodesh of Elohim, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

Let all bitterness and heat and wrath and clamor and reviling be taken from you, with all malice.

And be kind one toward another and compassionate, and forgive one another, as Elohim in the Mashiyach has forgiven us.
