1 E maka aku, si i bas penjara erkiteken kudahi dahin Tuhan, mindo man bandu: Nggeluh lah sue ras kecibalndu si enggo iaturken Dibata man bandu, asum tangtangna kam idiloNa guna ngikut Kristus. 2 Meteruk min ukurndu, lemah lembut, dingen saber. Ola kam pergelut sapih-sapih kam, erkiteken kekelengen si lit i bas kam. t 3 Usahakenlah tuhu-tuhu maka persadanndu si ibereken Kesah e tetap irakut alu enteguh i bas perdamen. 4 Sada ngenca kula, janah sada ngenca Kesah. Bage me pe kam kerina idilo ku bas sada pengarapen. 5 Sada ngenca Tuhan, sada kiniteken, sada peridin;

6 sada ngenca Dibata, e me Bapa kerinana. Ia i babo kerina si nasa lit, si erdahin arah kerina si nasa lit dingen si nggeluh i bas kerinana.
7 Man banta sekalak-sekalak enggo ibereken kengasupen si khusus sue ras baginta si patut si ibereken Kristus erpalasken lias ateNa.

8 Bagi lit tersurat i bas Pustaka Si Badia,
“Asum Ia nangkih ku ingan si meganjangna,
nterem ibabana kalak tabanen i bas barisen arak-arakenNa;
dingen iberekenNa pemere-pemere man manusia.” t
9 Kai kin ertina “Ia nangkih” e? Ertina e me: perlebe Ia nusur ku ingan si meterukna kal, i doni enda. 10 Ia si nusur e, Ia ka si nangkih ku ingan si ganjangen dingen dauhen asa kerina langit, gelah idemiNa kerinana. 11 Ia si “mereken pemere-pemere man manusia.” Deba ibahanNa jadi rasul, deba jadi nabi; lit deba jadi perBerita si Mehuli, lit deba jadi si mpermakani perpulungen ras guru-guru. 12 Si enda ibahanNa gelah kerina anak-anak Dibata sikap ndahiken dahin pelayanen majekken kula Kristus. 13 Alu bage dungna ersada kinitekenta ras penandainta kerina nandangi Anak Dibata; kita dewasa, janah dungna seh kita ku tingkat kedewasan Kristus si serta e. 14 Alu bage lanai kita bali ras anak-anak, iombang-ambingken galumbang dingen ijole-joleken ku jah ku je alu angin pengajaren kalak penipu; ibabaina kalak si deban papak alu penebu-nebuna si guak. 15 Tapi alu nuriken si tuhu-tuhu alu dem ate keleng, reh belinna kita jenari seh ku tingkat kesempurnan Kristus. Ia kap takal janah,

16 ku Ia me kerina kula e irakut. Kerina ringring e iranggut dingen ipersada alu penampat urat si lit i bas ringring e. t

Kegeluhen si mbaru i bas Kristus

19 Lanai sitik pe ia meteh mela; ipelepasna dirina italuken sura-surana si jahat, janah ilakokenna kerina si la mehuli alu la alang-alangen.
20 Labo e si ipelajarindu i bas Kristus. 21 Ma enggo ibegindu kerna Kristus, janah selaku ajar-ajarNa, ma enggo kam iajari kerna si mehuli si lit i bas Ia? 22 Dage tangtangilah manusia si male, si erbahanca kam nggeluh bagi si nggo-nggona. Manusia si male si meneken bana alu sura-surana si nipu. t 23 Pusuh peratenndu ras perukurenndu kerina arus ipelimbarui.

24 Pakelah manusia si mbaru si itepa rikutken tempas Dibata, dingen encidahken bana i bas kegeluhen si tuhu-tuhu adil dingen badia. t
25 Olanai erbual! Kerina arus nuriken si tuhu-tuhu man seninana, sabap kerina kita ringring i bas sada kula. t 26 Adi merawa kam, ola seh erdosa. Janah ola simpan rawandu seh ben wari. t 27 Ola bere kesempaten man si Iblis. 28 Kalak si nangko gelgel nari, olanai ia nangko. Erdahinlah ia alu mehuli guna ncariken keperlunna, janah gelah lit i bas ia guna nampati kalak si i bas kepiceten. 29 Adi kam ngerana ola sitik pe belasken cakap si la erturi-turin. Tapi kata-kata si ergunalah belasken, si banci nampati kalak si deban rikutken perluna, gelah kata-katandu e maba kiniulin man si megisa. 30 Ola ceda ate Kesah Dibata ibahanndu, sabap Kesah e kap capna maka kam sikerajangen Dibata. Kesah e jaminen maka reh me warina Dibata ndungi dahinNa mulahi kam. 31 Tadingken cian ate, perampus ras pernembeh. Olanai kam si isak-isaken ntah si cekurak-cekuraken. Olanai sitik pe erelem-elem. 32 Tapi melias dingen mesayanglah sapih-sapih kam. Si alem-alemenlah bagi Dibata enggo ngalemi kam i bas Kristus. t

Ephesians 4

Live in Unity

1 I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord,t urge you to livet worthily of the calling with which you have been called,s2 with all humility and gentleness,t with patience, bearing witht one another in love,3 making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you too were called to the one hope of your calling,5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he capturedtcaptives; he gave gifts to men,"s9 Now what is the meaning of “he ascended,” except that he also descendeds to the lower regions,s namely, the earth?t10 He, the very onet who descended, is also the one who ascended above all the heavens, in order to fill all things.11 It was het who gave some as apostles, some as prophets, some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,s12 to equipt the saints for the work of ministry, that is,t to build up the body of Christ,13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God – a mature person, attaining tot the measure of Christ’s full stature.t14 Sot we are no longer to be children, tossed back and forth by waves and carried about by every wind of teaching by the trickery of people who craftily carry out their deceitful schemes.t15 But practicing the truth in love,t we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.

16 From him the whole body grows, fitted and held togethert through every supporting ligament.t As each one does its part, the body grows in love.

Live in Holiness

17 So I say this, and insistt in the Lord, that you no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futilityt of their thinking.t18 They are darkened in their understanding,t being alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardness of their hearts.19 Because they are callous, they have given themselves over to indecency for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.s20 But you did not learn about Christ like this,21 if indeed you heard about him and were taught in him, just as the truth is in Jesus.22 You were taught with reference to your former way of life to lay asidet the old man who is being corrupted in accordance with deceitful desires,23 to be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

24 and to put on the new man who has been created in God’s imaget – in righteousness and holiness that comes from truth.t
25 Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor,s for we are members of one another.26 Be angry and do not sin;s do not let the sun go down on the cause of your anger.t27 Do not give the devil an opportunity.28 The one who steals must steal no longer; rather he must labor, doing good with his own hands, so that he may have something to share with the one who has need.29 You must let no unwholesome word come out of your mouth, but only what is beneficial for the building up of the one in need,t that it may give grace to those who hear.30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.31 You must put away every kind of bitterness, anger, wrath, quarreling, and evil, slanderous talk.

32 Instead,s be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.t
