EPHESIANS CHAPTER 4 Ephesians 4:1 Paul exhorteth to those virtues which become the Christian calling, particularly to unity, Ephesians 4:7 declaring that Christ gave his gifts differently, that his body the church might be built up and perfected in the true faith by the co-operation of the several members with one another, and with him their Head. Ephesians 4:17 He calleth men off from the vain and impure conversation of the heathen world, Ephesians 4:22 to renounce the old, and to put on the new, man, Ephesians 4:25 to discard lying, Ephesians 4:26,27 and sinful anger. Ephesians 4:28 To leave off dishonest practices, and to gain by honest labour what they have occasion for, Ephesians 4:29 to use no corrupt talk, Ephesians 4:30 nor grieve God's Spirit. Ephesians 4:31,32 To put away all expressions of ill-will, and to practise mutual kindness and forgiveness. The prisoner of the Lord; in the Lord, a Hebraism: it is as much as, for the Lord: see Ephesians 3:1. Beseech you that ye walk worthy; proceed constantly and perseveringly in such ways as suit with and become your calling, 1 Thessalonians 4:7 1 Peter 1:15: see the like expression, Romans 16:2. Of the vocation wherewith ye are called; both your general calling, whereby ye are called to be saints, and your particular callings, to which ye are severally called, as Ephesians 5:1 and Ephesians 6:1.
