Ephesians 4

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	NOVA VULGATA
1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called,	1 Obsecro itaque vos ego, vinctus in Domino, ut digne ambuletis vocatione,qua vocati estis,
2 with all lowliness and meekness, with patience, forbearing one another in love,	2 cum omni humilitate et mansuetudine, cum longanimitate,supportantes invicem in caritate,
3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.	3 solliciti servare unitatem spiritus invinculo pacis;
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call,	4 unum corpus et unus Spiritus, sicut et vocati estis in una spevocationis vestrae;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,	5 unus Dominus, una fides, unum baptisma;
6 one God and Father of us all, who is above all and through all and in all.	6 unus Deus etPater omnium, qui super omnes et per omnia et in omnibus.
7 But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ's gift.	7 Unicuique autem nostrum data est gratia secundum mensuram donationis Christi.
8 Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men."	8 Propter quod dicit: “ Ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivitatem, dedit dona hominibus ”.
9 (In saying, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth?	9 Illud autem “ ascendit ” quid est, nisi quia et descendit in inferiorespartes terrae?
10 He who descended is he who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)	10 Qui descendit, ipse est et qui ascendit super omnes caelos, utimpleret omnia.
11 And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers,	11 Et ipse dedit quosdam quidem apostolos, quosdam autemprophetas, alios vero evangelistas, alios autem pastores et doctores
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,	12 adinstructionem sanctorum in opus ministerii, in aedificationem corporis Christi,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ;	13 donec occurramus omnes in unitatem fidei et agnitionis Filii Dei, in virumperfectum, in mensuram aetatis plenitudinis Christi,
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by their craftiness in deceitful wiles.	14 ut iam non simus parvulifluctuantes et circumacti omni vento doctrinae in fallacia hominum, in astutiaad circumventionem erroris;
15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,	15 veritatem autem facientes in caritate crescamusin illum per omnia, qui est caput Christus,
16 from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily growth and upbuilds itself in love.	16 ex quo totum corpus compactum etconexum per omnem iuncturam subministrationis secundum operationem in mensurauniuscuiusque partis augmentum corporis facit in aedificationem sui in caritate.
17 Now this I affirm and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds;	17 Hoc igitur dico et testificor in Domino, ut iam non ambuletis, sicut etgentes ambulant in vanitate sensus sui
18 they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart;	18 tenebris obscuratum habentesintellectum, alienati a vita Dei propter ignorantiam, quae est in illis proptercaecitatem cordis ipsorum;
19 they have become callous and have given themselves up to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of uncleanness.	19 qui indolentes semetipsos tradiderunt impudicitiaein operationem immunditiae omnis in avaritia.
20 You did not so learn Christ!--	20 Vos autem non ita didicistis Christum,
21 assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus.	21 si tamen illum audistis et in ipsoedocti estis, sicut est veritas in Iesu:
22 Put off your old nature which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful lusts,	22 deponere vos secundum pristinamconversationem veterem hominem, qui corrumpitur secundum desideria erroris,
23 and be renewed in the spirit of your minds,	23 renovari autem spiritu mentis vestrae
24 and put on the new nature, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.	24 et induere novum hominem, qui secundumDeum creatus est in iustitia et sanctitate veritatis.
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, let every one speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.	25 Propter quod deponentesmendacium loquimini veritatem unusquisque cum proximo suo, quoniam sumus invicemmembra.
26 Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger,	26 Irascimini et nolite peccare; sol non occidat super iracundiamvestram,
27 and give no opportunity to the devil.	27 et nolite locum dare Diabolo.
28 Let the thief no longer steal, but rather let him labor, doing honest work with his hands, so that he may be able to give to those in need.	28 Qui furabatur, iam non furetur,magis autem laboret operando manibus bonum, ut habeat unde tribuat necessitatempatienti.
29 Let no evil talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for edifying, as fits the occasion, that it may impart grace to those who hear.	29 Omnis sermo malus ex ore vestro non procedat, sed si quis bonus adaedificationem opportunitatis, ut det gratiam audientibus.
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.	30 Et nolitecontristare Spiritum Sanctum Dei, in quo signati estis in diem redemptionis.
31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, with all malice,	31 Omnis amaritudo et ira et indignatio et clamor et blasphemia tollatur a vobiscum omni malitia.
32 and be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.	32 Estote autem invicem benigni, misericordes, donantesinvicem, sicut et Deus in Christo donavit vobis.
