1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; 3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; 5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. 7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. 9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) 11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.
17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 Having the understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart: 19 Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. 20 But ye have not so learned Christ; 21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: 22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; 23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; 24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.
25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. 26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: 27 Neither give place to the devil. 28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. 29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. 30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Mīrmīleiba un mīlesteiba.
1 Es, kai gyusteknis ikš Kunga, jyusus pōrsorgoju, lai jyus tō aicynōjuma cīneigi dzeivōtu, kurā asot pasaukti, 2 lai byutu vysā pazemeigi, lānprōteigi un pacīteigi un vins pret ūtru ar mīlesteibu īcīteigi. 3 Centeigi ryupejitēs īturēt gora vīneibu caur mīra saitem, 4 (Jo jyus asot) vīna mīsa un vins gors, kai arī jyusu aicynōjumā asot paaicynōti uz vīnu cereibu. 5 Vins Kungs, vīna ticeiba, vīna kristeiba. 6 Vīns Dīvs un vysu Tāvs, kas ir pōri visim, cauri visim un vysā.
7 Ikvīnam nu mums ir dūta žēlesteiba taidā mārā, kaidā Kristus ir dōvynōjis. 8 Tōpēc ir teikts: Jys uzkōpe augšā, pajēme sev leidza gyustekņus un cylvākim izdaleja dōvonas. 9 Bet kū tad cytu var nūzeimōt tys: Jys uzkōpe augšā, kai: Jys pyrmōk nūkōpe arī zemes dziļumūs? 10 Tys, kas nūkōpe, ir tys pats, kas uzkōpe augšōk par visim dabasim, lai pīpiļdeitu vysu. 11 Un tai Jys vīnus īcēle par apostolim, cytus par pravīšim, cytus otkon par evangelistim, vai arī par ganeitōjim un mōceitōjim. 12 Jim ir pīnōkums sagatavōt svātūs sova omota izpiļdeišonai, Kristus mīsas uzceļšonai, 13 koleidz mes visi nūnōksim ticeibas vīneibā, Dīva Dāla atzeišonā, pīaugušō cylvāka nūbrīdumā, Kristus myuža godu piļneibā. 14 Lai tad mes vairs naasam mozgadeigi, kas svōrstōs tur un šur, kurus kotras mōceibas vāsma svaida prūjom un atpakaļ, gon caur cylvāku viļteibu, gon caur moldu blēdeibu, 15 bet gon pi patīseibas turūtīs caur vysu lai augam mīlesteibā uz tū, kas ir golva: Kristu. 16 Jys vysu mīsu caur ikvīnu lūcekli sakūpoj un kūpā satur un ikvīnai daļai sovu nūteiktu dorbu pazeimoj; tai nūteik mīsas augšona, koleidz tei byus mīlesteibā uzcalta.
Kristticeigajim jōdzeivoj svēteigi.
17 Tai tad, es jums šytū soku un ikš Kunga līcynoju: Nadzeivojit vairs tai, kai pogōni dzeivoj, kas sovā oplomeibā 18 sovu prōtu ir aptymsōjuši un, nazynōšonas dēļ, kura jūs ir aplankuse, jī nu dzeives ikš Dīva ir atsasvešynōjuši sirds aizcītynōšonas dēļ. 19 Jī dzeivōdami bez cereibas nūsadeve naceisteibai un kōreigi dora vysaidus nūzīgumus.
20 Bet Kristus jyusus na tai ir mōcejis. 21 Jyus cytaiž par jū naasot dzērdējuši un par jū naasot īmōceiti kai tik tai, kai ir patīseiba ikš Jezus. 22 Jums ir jōatmat agrōkō dzeive un jōizagērb nu vacō cylvāka, kas caur krōpūšom kōreibom kreit iznīceibā. 23 Atsajaunojit caur Goru sovā apziņā 24 un apsagērbit jaunā cylvākā, kas pēc Dīva ir radeits taisneigumā un patīseibas svātumā.
25 Tōpēc metit nūst malus un vins ūtram runojit patīseibu: jo mes sovstarpeji asom lūcekli. 26 Dusmojūtīs nagrākojit, saule lai nanūrīt par jyusu dusmi. 27 Nadūdit vītas valnam. 28 Kas beja zaglis, tys lai vairs nazūg, bet gon caur sovu rūku dorbim sev sagōdoj gūdeigu nūpeļņu, lai varātu nu tō paleidzēt tryukumcītējim. 29 Nu jyusu lyupom lai nanōk nikaida ļauna runa, bet gon loba, kas, kur tys ir vītā, kolpōtu uzlobōšonai (ticeibā) un klauseitōjim nastu svēteibu. 30 Un naapkaitynojit Dīva Svātō Gora, ar kuru jyus asot apzeimūgōti atpesteišonas dīnai. 31 Lai ir tōli nu jums ikvīns saryugtynōjums, dusme un borgums, ikvīna klīgšona un saimōšona un vyspōri ikvins ļaunums. 32 Esit vins pret ūtru laipni, žālsirdeigi un vins ūtram pīdūdit, kai arī Dīvs jums ikš Kristus ir pīdevis.
