1 I, the prisoner in [the] Lord, exhort you therefore to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye have been called,
1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
2 with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love;
2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love,
3 using diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace.
3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 [There is] one body and one Spirit, as ye have been also called in one hope of your calling;
4 There is one body and one Spirit, even as you also were called in one hope of your calling,
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.
6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in us all.
7 But to each one of us has been given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.
7 But to each one of us, the grace was given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he says, Having ascended up on high, he has led captivity captive, and has given gifts to men.
8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to people.”
9 But that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
10 He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;
10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
11 and he has given some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers,
11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
12 for the perfecting of the saints; with a view to [the] work of [the] ministry, with a view to the edifying of the body of Christ;
12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,
13 until we all arrive at the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, at [the] full-grown man, at [the] measure of the stature of the fulness of the Christ;
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 in order that we may be no longer babes, tossed and carried about by every wind of that teaching [which is] in the sleight of men, in unprincipled cunning with a view to systematized 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 but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ:
15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
16 from whom the whole body, fitted together, and connected by every joint of supply, according to [the] working in [its] measure of each one part, works for itself the increase of the body to its self-building up in love.
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 This I say therefore, and testify in [the] Lord, that ye should no longer walk as [the rest of] the nations walk in [the] vanity of their mind,
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 being darkened in understanding, estranged from the life of God by reason of the ignorance which is in them, by reason of the hardness of their hearts,
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 who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust.
19 They, having become callous, gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
20 But ye have not thus learnt the Christ,
20 But you didn’t learn Christ that way,
21 if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as [the] truth is in Jesus;
21 if indeed you heard him and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
22 [namely] your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts;
22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit,
23 and being renewed in the spirit of your mind;
23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
24 and [your] having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness.
24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
25 Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another.
25 Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.
26 Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath,
26 “Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
27 neither give room for the devil.
27 and don’t give place to the devil.
28 Let the stealer steal no more, but rather let him toil, working what is honest with [his] hands, that he may have to distribute to him that has need.
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 Let no corrupt word go out of your mouth, but if [there be] any good one for needful edification, that it may give grace to those that hear [it].
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 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for [the] day of redemption.
30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
31 Let all bitterness, and heat of passion, and wrath, and clamour, and injurious language, be removed from you, with all malice;
31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice.
32 and be to one another kind, compassionate, forgiving one another, so as God also in Christ has forgiven you.
32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

Lo que dijeron los Padres
Pasajes de los Padres de la Iglesia que comentan o citan este capítulo, tal como aparecen en la edición de Schaff (traducciones inglesas del siglo XIX, de dominio público). Los textos están en inglés.
Cómo se eligieron
«Comentario» es el comienzo de una homilía o exposición sobre este capítulo (homilías de san Juan Crisóstomo; tratados, sermones y comentarios a los Salmos de san Agustín). «Cita» es una frase en la que las notas de la propia edición identifican la cita de un versículo de este capítulo; solo se conserva si el texto coincide con el versículo. Solo se usan obras de autoría segura. Los Salmos siguen la numeración hebrea (Agustín usa la de los Setenta: su Salmo 50 es aquí el 51).
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.
