G3588–ὁ–ho

I, then, the prisoner for the Master's sake, entreat you to live and act as becomes those who have received the call that you have received--

ὁ ho “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

in the uniting bond of peace, the unity given by the Spirit.

τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τῷ tō “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.

τῆς tēs “of the”

and one God and Father of all, who rules over all, acts through all, and dwells in all.

ὁ ho “who [is]”

Yet to each of us individually grace was given, measured out with the munificence of Christ.

ἡ hē “<the>”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For this reason Scripture says: "He re-ascended on high, He led captive a host of captives, and gave gifts to men."

τοῖς tois “<the>”

(Now this "re-ascended" --what does it mean but that He had first descended into the lower regions of the earth?

τὸ to “<the>”τὰ ta “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

He who descended is the same as He who ascended again far above all the Heavens in order to fill the universe.)

ὁ ho “The [One]”ὁ ho “[one]”τῶν tōn “the”τὰ ta “<the>”

And He Himself appointed some to be Apostles, some to be Prophets, some to be evangelists, some to be pastors and teachers,

τοὺς tous “some”τοὺς tous “some”τοὺς tous “some”τοὺς tous “some”

in order fully to equip His people for the work of serving--for the building up of Christ's body--

τὸν ton “the”τῶν tōn “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

till we all of us arrive at oneness in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and at mature manhood and the stature of full-grown men in Christ.

οἱ hoi “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “of the”τῆς tēs “of the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τοῦ tou “of the”τοῦ tou “<the>”

So we shall no longer be babes nor shall we resemble mariners tossed on the waves and carried about with every changing wind of doctrine according to men's cleverness and unscrupulous cunning, making use of every shifting device to mislead.

τῆς tēs “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”τῶν tōn “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

But we shall lovingly hold to the truth, and shall in all respects grow up into union with Him who is our Head, even Christ.

τὰ ta “<the>”ἡ hē “the”ὁ ho “<the>”

Dependent on Him, the whole body--its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another-- grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of l

τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “of [its]”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

Therefore I warn you, and I implore you in the name of the Master, no longer to live as the Gentiles in their perverseness live,

τὰ ta “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

with darkened understandings, having by reason of the ignorance which is deep-seated in them and the insensibility of their moral nature, no share in the Life which God gives.

τῇ tēa “in the”τῆς tēs “from the”τοῦ tou “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”τὴν tēn “which”τὴν tēn “the”τῆς tēs “of the”

Such men being past feeling have abandoned themselves to impurity, greedily indulging in every kind of profligacy.

τῇ tēa “<the>”

But these are not the lessons which you have learned from Christ;

τὸν ton “<the>”

if at least you have heard His voice and in Him have been taught--and this is true Christian teaching--

τῷ tō “<the>”

to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,

τὴν tēn “the”τὸν ton “the”τὸν ton “which”τὰς tas “[its]”τῆς tēs “<the>”

and to get yourselves renewed in the temper of your minds and clothe yourselves

τῷ tō “in the”τοῦ tou “of the”

with that new and better self which has been created to resemble God in the righteousness and holiness which come from the truth.

τὸν ton “the”τὸν ton “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”

For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.

τὸ to “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”

If angry, beware of sinning. Let not your irritation last until the sun goes down;

ὁ ho “The”τῷ tō “the”

and do not leave room for the Devil.

τῷ tō “to the”
