[kjv] i therefore, the prisoner of the lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,

[bbe] i then, the prisoner in the lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which god's purpose has given you,

4:8 [hgb] 所 以 经 上 说 ， 他 升 上 高 天 的 时 候 ， 掳 掠 了 仇 敌 ， 将 各 样 的 恩 赐 赏 给 人 。

[kjv] wherefore he saith, when he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.

[bbe] for this reason he says, he went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

4:9 [hgb] （ 既 说 升 上 ， 岂 不 是 先 降 在 地 下 吗 ？

[kjv] (now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?

[bbe] (now this, he went up, what is it but that he first went down into the lower parts of the earth?

[kjv] till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of god, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of christ:

[bbe] till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the son of god, to full growth, to the full measure of christ:

4:14 [hgb] 使 我 们 不 再 作 小 孩 子 ， 中 了 人 的 诡 计 ， 和 欺 骗 的 法 术 ， 被 一 切 异 教 之 风 摇 动 ， 飘 来 飘 去 ， 就 随 从 各 样 的 异 端 。

[kjv] that we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;

[bbe] so that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

[bbe] through whom all the body, being rightly formed and united together, by the full working of every part, is increased to the building up of itself in love.

4:17 [hgb] 所 以 我 说 ， 且 在 主 里 确 实 地 说 ， 你 们 行 事 ， 不 要 再 像 外 邦 人 存 虚 妄 的 心 行 事 。

[kjv] this i say therefore, and testify in the lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,

[bbe] this i say, then, and give witness in the lord, that you are to go no longer in the way of the gentiles whose minds are turned to that which has no profit,

4:18 [hgb] 他 们 心 地 昏 昧 ， 与 神 所 赐 的 生 命 隔 绝 了 ， 都 因 自 己 无 知 ， 心 里 刚 硬 。

[kjv] having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of god through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:

[bbe] whose thoughts are dark, to whom the life of god is strange because they are without knowledge, and their hearts have been made hard;

4:19 [hgb] 良 心 既 然 丧 尽 ， 就 放 纵 私 欲 ， 贪 行 种 种 的 污 秽 。

[kjv] who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

4:20 [hgb] 你 们 学 了 基 督 ， 却 不 是 这 样 。

[kjv] but ye have not so learned christ;

[bbe] for this was not the teaching of christ which was given to you;

4:21 [hgb] 如 果 你 们 听 过 他 的 道 ， 领 了 他 的 教 ， 学 了 他 的 真 理 ，

[kjv] if so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in jesus:

[bbe] if in fact you gave ear to him, and were given teaching in him, even as what is true is made clear in jesus:

4:22 [hgb] 就 要 脱 去 你 们 从 前 行 为 上 的 旧 人 。 这 旧 人 是 因 私 欲 的 迷 惑 ， 渐 渐 变 坏 的 。

[kjv] that ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

4:23 [hgb] 又 要 将 你 们 的 心 志 改 换 一 新 。

[kjv] and be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

4:28 [hgb] 从 前 偷 窃 的 ， 不 要 再 偷 。 总 要 劳 力 ， 亲 手 作 正 经 事 ， 就 可 有 余 分 给 那 缺 少 的 人 。

[kjv] let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

[bbe] let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

4:29 [hgb] 污 秽 的 言 语 ， 一 句 不 可 出 口 ， 只 要 随 事 说 造 就 人 的 好 话 ， 叫 听 见 的 人 得 益 处 。

[kjv] let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

[bbe] let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

4:30 [hgb] 不 要 叫 神 的 圣 灵 担 忧 。 你 们 原 是 受 了 他 的 印 记 ， 等 候 得 赎 的 日 子 来 到 。
