I u Tewal i Dios u ʼanom chake xa oj jutzobaj; chaka bisoj ʼuri rucʼaxic kib

1 Yin, chi in ʼo pa cárcel xa rumal u chac i Kajwal, lic quin bij chiwe: chi ʼana i ʼutz i chom, man ix chatal rumal i Dios; niʼpa i je chatal rumal, ca majaw chique chi quiqui ʼan i ʼutz i chom. 2 Mi ʼan nim che iwib, xak chi ʼana che iwib ʼutz i cʼux chiwach; xak chi ʼana ʼo u nimal i cʼux, chi chʼija ruʼ i cʼaxnabal i cʼux wach tak i qui ʼan chiwach. 3 I u Tewal i Dios cu ʼan na chiwe ix jutzobaj. Chi bisoj ʼuri u rucʼaxic iwib; quix tiqui na che we chom ix ʼo chiwach. 4 Chuwach i Dios xa oj jun tzobaj, xak i u Tewal i Dios chi ʼo kuʼ, xa jun. Xak xa jun i ʼutz koyʼem konojel, chi u sujum i Dios chake are xoj u siqʼuij ruʼ. 5 Xa jun i Kajwal ʼo pakawi, xa jun i cʼutunic ka cojom, xa jun i Crísto xoj terej chirij are xkajsax ya pakawi.

6 Xa jun i Dios, chi ka Kajaw konojel; are ire ʼo pakawi konojel; ire ca tijin che u chac ruʼ i ka ʼab konojel; are ire ʼo pa ka cʼux konojel.
7 Xui-ri, n-xak ta jun u wach i sipon u yom i Crísto chake, n-xak ta jun u wach i ka patan u yom chaka jujunal, u yom chake pacha u chʼobom chi ca majaw chake chaka jujunal.

8 Rumal-i, xeʼelok pacha i tzʼibtal can chupam u wuj i Dios ujer; cu bij:
Ire, are xel bi chila chicaj, xe u cʼam bi ruʼ niʼpa i aj prex (chi je aj chʼoʼoj teʼek ruʼ);

(Queje ile tzʼibtal canokt.)
9 ¿Wach usucʼ i tzij-le chi xu bij “xel bi chicaj”? Are iri: nabe xkaj lok, n-xui ta waral xkaj wi lok, xak xkaj cʼa naj xe ulew. 10 Are i jun chi xkaj lok, xak are i xel chubi chicaj, y mas xel bi puwi i caj-le. Queje ile xu ʼano, cu ʼalijinsabej-re chi ire xa ipa ʼo wi. 11 (Xak ¿wach usucʼ i tzij-le chi xu bij “xu ya i sipon chique i winak”? Are iri): ʼis xu ya qui patan; xu ya chique jujun je apostelab; xak xu ya chique jujun, je ajbil-re chique i winak wach u ʼalijinsam ire chique; xak xu ya chique jujun, je aj paxsanel tzij re i ʼelbal chi sak; xak xu ya chique jujun, je aj chajinel que i kachalal; xak xu ya chique jujun, je cʼutunel re u tzij. 12 Queje xoʼon i Dios ile, yijbal-que i je re ire chu ʼonquil qui patan, tobal-que i cachalal che qui cʼaslemal chuwach i Dios. 13 Queje caka ʼan ile, junamsabal kib chakawach. Craj ire xak jun ka wach che u cubibal ka cʼux che i Kajwal, xak jun ka wach che i retamaxic i u Cʼojol ire. Coj eʼel na ʼuri oj nimak chic pa ka cʼaslemal chuwach i Dios; coj eʼel na ʼuri pacha i Crísto. 14 Queje ile n-caka ʼan ta chic pacha quiqui ʼan acʼalab chi toʼ ca etzʼan qui nojbal che wach tak i quiqui cojo. N-caka ʼan ta chic chi coj ʼe jela, coj ʼe jewa che tak i ka cojonic.

Are ire are i ka jolom, y yoj oj u chʼacul.

16 Rumal ire, niʼpa tak i ʼo che i chʼaculaj-le ʼis u chapom rib chiquiwach, niʼpa tak i ʼo che, ʼis quiqui to quib chiquiwach; queje i chʼaculaj ile chi oj jutzobaj re i Dios. Chaka jujunal, ʼis ʼo ka chac; we coj tijin che i ka chac ruʼ i cʼaxnabal cʼuxij, ca tijin ʼuri ka cowiric, pacha coʼon jun chʼaculaj ca cowiric.

ʼO u chac caka jalwachij i ka nojbal re ujer

24 Xak ʼo u chac chi jalwachij i cʼaslemal re ujer; chi ʼana che iwib pacha ix cʼacʼ laj tak winak chic, pacha craj i Dios. Ca ʼalijin na ʼuri chiwe jun cʼaslemal lic chʼam, lic sucʼulic pacha cu bij i sak laj tzij re i Dios.

25 Rumal-i, mi tʼor iwatz i chaʼ, mi tʼor i loʼcʼanij; are quix lapan chiwach, xui i sak laj tzij chi lapa, man yoj konojel xa oj jutzobaj, xa oj jun chʼaculaj.

Ephesians 4

The Unity of the Body

1 I urge you, then — I who am a prisoner because I serve the Lord: live a life that measures up to the standard God set when he called you. 2 Be always humble, gentle, and patient. Show your love by being tolerant with one another.t 3 Do your best to preserve the unity which the Spirit gives by means of the peace that binds you together. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as there is one hope to which God has called you. 5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

6 there is one God and Father of all, who is Lord of all, works through all, and is in all.
7 Each one of us has received a special gift in proportion to what Christ has given.

8 As the scripture says:t
“When he went up to the very heights,
he took many captives with him;
he gave gifts to people.”
9 Now, what does “he went up” mean? It means that first he came down to the lowest depths of the earth.t 10 So the one who came down is the same one who went up, above and beyond the heavens, to fill the whole universe with his presence. 11 It was he who “gave gifts”; he appointed some to be apostles, others to be prophets, others to be evangelists, others to be pastors and teachers. 12 He did this to prepare all God's people for the work of Christian service, in order to build up the body of Christ. 13 And so we shall all come together to that oneness in our faith and in our knowledge of the Son of God; we shall become mature people, reaching to the very height of Christ's full stature. 14 Then we shall no longer be children, carried by the waves and blown about by every shifting wind of the teaching of deceitful people, who lead others into error by the tricks they invent. 15 Instead, by speaking the truth in a spirit of love, we must grow up in every way to Christ, who is the head.

16 Under his control all the different parts of the body fit together, and the whole body is held together by every joint with which it is provided. So when each separate part works as it should, the whole body grows and builds itself up through love.t

The New Life in Christ

19 They have lost all feeling of shame; they give themselves over to vice and do all sorts of indecent things without restraint.
20 That was not what you learnt about Christ! 21 You certainly heard about him, and as his followers you were taught the truth that is in Jesus. 22 So get rid of your old self, which made you live as you used to — the old self that was being destroyed by its deceitful desires.t 23 Your hearts and minds must be made completely new,

24 and you must put on the new self, which is created in God's likeness and reveals itself in the true life that is upright and holy.t
25 No more lying, then! Each of you must tell the truth to one another, because we are all members together in the body of Christ.t 26 If you become angry, do not let your anger lead you into sin, and do not stay angry all day.t 27 Don't give the Devil a chance. 28 Those who used to rob must stop robbing and start working, in order to earn an honest living for themselves and to be able to help the poor. 29 Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you. 30 And do not make God's Holy Spirit sad; for the Spirit is God's mark of ownership on you, a guarantee that the Day will come when God will set you free. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, passion, and anger. No more shouting or insults, no more hateful feelings of any sort. 32 Instead, be kind and tender-hearted to one another, and forgive one another, as God has forgiven you through Christ.t
