WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Σας παρακαλώ λοιπόν εγώ ο δέσμιος εν Κυρίω να περιπατήσητε αξίως της προσκλήσεως, καθ' ην προσεκλήθητε,
1 YO pues, preso en el Señor, os ruego que andéis como es digno de la vocación con que sois llamados;
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2 μετά πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης και πραότητος, μετά μακροθυμίας, υποφέροντες αλλήλους εν αγάπη,
2 Con toda humildad y mansedumbre, con paciencia soportando los unos á los otros en amor;
2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3 σπουδάζοντες να διατηρήτε την ενότητα του Πνεύματος διά του συνδέσμου της ειρήνης.
3 Solícitos á guardar la unidad del Espíritu en el vínculo de la paz.
3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 Εν σώμα και εν Πνεύμα, καθώς και προσεκλήθητε με μίαν ελπίδα της προσκλήσεώς σας·
4 Un cuerpo, y un Espíritu; como sois también llamados á una misma esperanza de vuestra vocación:
4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
5 εις Κύριος, μία πίστις, εν βάπτισμα·
5 Un Señor, una fe, un bautismo,
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 εις Θεός και Πατήρ πάντων, ο ων επί πάντων και διά πάντων και εν πάσιν υμίν.
6 Un Dios y Padre de todos, el cual es sobre todas las cosas, y por todas las cosas, y en todos vosotros.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
7 Εις ένα δε έκαστον ημών εδόθη η χάρις κατά το μέτρον της δωρεάς του Χριστού.
7 Empero á cada uno de nosotros es dada la gracia conforme á la medida del don de Cristo.
7 But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Διά τούτο λέγει· Αναβάς εις ύψος, ηχμαλώτευσεν αιχμαλωσίαν και έδωκε χαρίσματα εις τους ανθρώπους.
8 Por lo cual dice: Subiendo á lo alto, llevó cautiva la cautividad, y dió dones á los hombres.
8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
9 Το δε ανέβη τι είναι ειμή ότι και κατέβη πρώτον εις τα κατώτερα μέρη της γης;
9 (Y que subió, ¿qué es, sino que también había descendido primero á las partes más bajas de la tierra?
9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 Ο καταβάς αυτός είναι και ο αναβάς υπεράνω πάντων των ουρανών, διά να πληρώση τα πάντα.
10 El que descendió, él mismo es el que también subió sobre todos los cielos para cumplir todas las cosas.)
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11 Και αυτός έδωκεν άλλους μεν αποστόλους, άλλους δε προφήτας, άλλους δε ευαγγελιστάς, άλλους δε ποιμένας και διδασκάλους,
11 Y él mismo dió unos, ciertamente apóstoles; y otros, profetas; y otros, evangelistas; y otros, pastores y doctores;
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
12 προς την τελειοποίησιν των αγίων, διά το έργον της διακονίας, διά την οικοδομήν του σώματος του Χριστού,
12 Para perfección de los santos, para la obra del ministerio, para edificación del cuerpo de Cristo;
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
13 εωσού καταντήσωμεν πάντες εις την ενότητα της πίστεως και της επιγνώσεως του Υιού του Θεού, εις άνδρα τέλειον, εις μέτρον ηλικίας του πληρώματος του Χριστού,
13 Hasta que todos lleguemos á la unidad de la fe y del conocimiento del Hijo de Dios, á un varón perfecto, á la medida de la edad de la plenitud de Cristo:
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14 διά να μη ήμεθα πλέον νήπιοι, κυματιζόμενοι και περιφερόμενοι με πάντα άνεμον της διδασκαλίας, διά της δολιότητος των ανθρώπων, διά της πανουργίας εις το μεθοδεύεσθαι την πλάνην,
14 Que ya no seamos niños fluctuantes, y llevados por doquiera de todo viento de doctrina, por estratagema de hombres que, para engañar, emplean con astucia los artificios del error:
14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
15 αλλά αληθεύοντες εις την αγάπην να αυξήσωμεν εις αυτόν κατά πάντα, όστις είναι η κεφαλή, ο Χριστός,
15 Antes siguiendo la verdad en amor, crezcamos en todas cosas en aquel que es la cabeza, [á saber], Cristo;
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
16 εξ ου παν το σώμα συναρμολογούμενον και συνδεόμενον διά πάσης συναφείας των συνεργούντων μελών, κατά την ανάλογον ενέργειαν ενός εκάστου μέρους κάμνει την αύξησιν του σώματος προς οικοδομήν εαυτού εν αγάπη.
16 Del cual, todo el cuerpo compuesto y bien ligado entre sí por todas las junturas de su alimento, [que recibe] según la operación, cada miembro conforme á su medida toma aumento de cuerpo edificándose en amor.
16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
17 Τούτο λοιπόν λέγω και μαρτύρομαι διά του Κυρίου, να μη περιπατήτε πλέον καθώς και τα λοιπά έθνη περιπατούσιν εν τη ματαιότητι του νοός αυτών,
17 Esto pues digo, y requiero en el Señor, que no andéis más como los otros Gentiles, que andan en la vanidad de su sentido,
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,
18 εσκοτισμένοι την διάνοιαν, απηλλοτριωμένοι όντες από της ζωής του Θεού διά την άγνοιαν την ούσαν εν αυτοίς, διά την πώρωσιν της καρδίας αυτών,
18 Teniendo el entendimiento entenebrecido, ajenos de la vida de Dios por la ignorancia que en ellos hay, por la dureza de su corazón:
18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their hearts.
19 οίτινες αναισθητούντες, παρέδωκαν εαυτοίς εις την ασέλγειαν, διά να εργάζωνται πάσαν ακαθαρσίαν ακορέστως.
19 Los cuales después que perdieron el sentido [de la conciencia], se entregaron á la desvergüenza para cometer con avidez toda suerte de impureza.
19 They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 Σεις όμως δεν εμάθετε ούτω τον Χριστόν,
20 Mas vosotros no habéis aprendido así á Cristo:
20 But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
21 επειδή αυτόν ηκούσατε και εις αυτόν εδιδάχθητε, καθώς είναι η αλήθεια εν τω Ιησού·
21 Si empero lo habéis oído, y habéis sido por él enseñados, como la verdad está en Jesús,
21 if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22 να απεκδυθήτε τον παλαιόν άνθρωπον τον κατά την προτέραν διαγωγήν, τον φθειρόμενον κατά τας απατηλάς επιθυμίας,
22 A que dejéis, cuanto á la pasada manera de vivir, el viejo hombre que está viciado conforme á los deseos de error;
22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
23 και να ανανεόνησθε εις το πνεύμα του νοός σας
23 Y á renovaros en el espíritu de vuestra mente,
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 και να ενδυθήτε τον νέον άνθρωπον, τον κτισθέντα κατά Θεόν εν δικαιοσύνη και οσιότητι της αληθείας.
24 Y vestir el nuevo hombre que es criado conforme á Dios en justicia y en santidad de verdad.
24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Όθεν απορρίψαντες το ψεύδος, λαλείτε αλήθειαν έκαστος μετά του πλησίον αυτού· διότι είμεθα μέλη αλλήλων.
25 Por lo cual, dejada la mentira, hablad verdad cada uno con su prójimo; porque somos miembros los unos de los otros.
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
26 Οργίζεσθε και μη αμαρτάνετε· ο ήλιος ας μη δύη επί τον παροργισμόν σας,
26 Airaos, y no pequéis; no se ponga el sol sobre vuestro enojo;
26 “Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
27 μήτε δίδετε τόπον εις τον διάβολον.
27 Ni deis lugar al diablo.
27 and don’t give place to the devil.
28 Ο κλέπτων ας μη κλέπτη πλέον, μάλλον δε ας κοπιάζη εργαζόμενος το καλόν με τας χείρας αυτού, διά να έχη να μεταδίδη εις τον χρείαν έχοντα.
28 El que hurtaba, no hurte más; antes trabaje, obrando con sus manos lo que es bueno, para que tenga de qué dar al que padeciere necesidad.
28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
29 Μηδείς λόγος σαπρός ας μη εξέρχηται εκ του στόματός σας, αλλ' όστις είναι καλός προς οικοδομήν της χρείας, διά να δώση χάριν εις τους ακούοντας.
29 Ninguna palabra torpe salga de vuestra boca, sino la que sea buena para edificación, para que dé gracia á los oyentes.
29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
30 Και μη λυπείτε το Πνεύμα το Άγιον του Θεού, με το οποίον εσφραγίσθητε διά την ημέραν της απολυτρώσεως.
30 Y no contristéis al Espíritu Santo de Dios, con el cual estáis sellados para el día de la redención.
30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Πάσα πικρία και θυμός και οργή και κραυγή και βλασφημία ας αφαιρεθή από σας μετά πάσης κακίας·
31 Toda amargura, y enojo, é ira, y voces, y maledicencia sea quitada de vosotros, y toda malicia:
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
32 γίνεσθε δε εις αλλήλους χρηστοί, εύσπλαγχνοι, συγχωρούντες αλλήλους, καθώς ο Θεός συνεχώρησεν εσάς διά του Χριστού.
32 Antes sed los unos con los otros benignos, misericordiosos, perdonándoos los unos á los otros, como también Dios os perdonó en Cristo.
32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
When the blessed Paul exhorts us to anything of special importance, so truly wise and spiritual as he is, he grounds his exhortation upon things in Heaven: this itself being a lesson he had learned from the Lord. Thus he saith also elsewhere, "Walk in love, even as Christ also hath loved us." (ch. v.

It is declared then in these Scriptures, "Be ye angry, and sin not," and, "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath." Happy is he who remembers this, which I believe to be the case with you.
Now, that this God is the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Paul the apostle also has declared, [saying,] "There is one God, the Father, who is above all, and through all things, and in us all." I have indeed proved already that there is only one God; but I shall further demonstrate this from the apostles themselves, and from …
But that orator was of the kind that I so loved as I wished myself to be such a one; and I erred through an inflated pride, and was "carried about with every wind," but yet was piloted by Thee, though very secretly.

For this cause Paul also, when urging us in another way to reconciliation, said, "Let not the sun go down upon your wrath." For much as Christ by this argument of the sacrifice, so there Paul by that of the day, is urging us on to the self-same point.
