Ephesians 以弗所書4:1-10
1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,
1 我為主被囚的勸你們:既然蒙召,行事為人就當與蒙召的恩相稱,
2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love,
2 凡事謙虛、溫柔、忍耐,用愛心互相寬容,
3 endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
3 用和平彼此聯絡,竭力保守聖靈所賜合而為一的心。
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
4 身體只有一個,聖靈只有一個,正如你們蒙召同有一個指望;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
5 一主,一信,一洗,
6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
6 一神,就是眾人的父,超乎眾人之上,貫乎眾人之中,也住在眾人之內。
7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.
7 我們各人蒙恩,都是照基督所量給各人的恩賜。
8 Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”
8 所以經上說:「他升上高天的時候,擄掠了仇敵,將各樣的恩賜賞給人。」
9 (Now this, “He ascended”—what does it mean but that He also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
9 (既說升上,豈不是先降在地下嗎?
10 He who descended is also the One who ascended far above all the heavens, that He might fill all things.)
