¹Zaklinjem vas dakle ja, sužanj u Gospodinu: sa svom poniznošću i blagošću, sa strpljivošću živite dostojno poziva kojim ste pozvani!

¹*I*, the prisoner in [the] Lord, exhort you therefore to walk worthy of the calling wherewith ye have been called,

²Podnosite jedni druge u ljubavi;

²with all lowliness and meekness, with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love;

³trudite se sačuvati jedinstvo Duha svezom mira!

³using diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the uniting bond of peace.

⁴Jedno tijelo i jedan Duh - kao što ste i pozvani na jednu nadu svog poziva!

⁴[There is] one body and one Spirit, as ye have been also called in one hope of your calling;

⁵Jedan Gospodin! Jedna vjera! Jedan krst!

⁵one Lord, one faith, one baptism;

⁶Jedan Bog i Otac sviju, nad svima i po svima i u svima!

⁶one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in us all.

⁷A svakomu je od nas dana milost po mjeri dara Kristova.

⁷But to each one of us has been given grace according to the measure of the gift of the Christ.

⁸Zato veli: Na visinu uzađe vodeći sužnje, dade dare ljudima.

⁸Wherefore he says, Having ascended up on high, he has led captivity captive, and has given gifts to men.

⁹Ono "uzađe" - što drugo znači doli to da i siđe u donje krajeve, na zemlju?

⁹But that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?

¹⁰Koji siđe, isti je onaj koji i uzađe ponad svih nebesa da sve ispuni.

¹⁰He that descended is the same who has also ascended up above all the heavens, that he might fill all things;

¹¹On i "dade" jedne za apostole, druge za proroke, jedne opet za evanđeliste, a druge za pastire i učitelje

¹¹and *he* has given some apostles, and some prophets, and some evangelists, and some shepherds and teachers,

¹²da opremi svete za djelo služenja, za izgrađivanje Tijela Kristova

¹²for 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;

¹³dok svi ne prispijemo do jedinstva vjere i spoznaje Sina Božjega, do čovjeka savršena, do mjere uzrasta punine Kristove:

¹³until 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;

¹⁴da više ne budemo nejačad kojom se valovi poigravaju i koje goni svaki vjetar nauka u ovom kockanju ljudskom, u lukavosti što put krči zabludi.

¹⁴in 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;

¹⁵Nego, istinujući u ljubavi da poradimo te sve uzraste u Njega, koji je Glava, Krist,

¹⁵but, holding the truth in love, we may grow up to him in all things, who is the head, the Christ:

¹⁶od kojega sve Tijelo, usklađeno i povezano svakovrsnim zglobom zbrinjavanja po djelotvornosti primjerenoj svakomu pojedinom dijelu, promiče svoj rast na saziđivanje u ljubavi.

¹⁶from 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.

¹⁷Ovo govorim i zaklinjem u Gospodinu: ne živite više kao što pogani žive - u ispraznosti pameti njihove:

¹⁷This 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,

¹⁸zamračena uma, udaljeni od života Božjega, sve zbog neznanja koje je u njima, zbog okorjelosti srca njihova.

¹⁸being 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,

¹⁹Sami su sebe otupili i podali se razvratnosti da bi u pohlepi počinjali svaku nečistoću.

¹⁹who having cast off all feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greedy unsatisfied lust.

²⁰Vi pak ne naučiste tako Krista,

²⁰But *ye* have not thus learnt the Christ,

²¹ako ste ga doista čuli i u njemu bili poučeni kako je istina u Isusu:

²¹if ye have heard him and been instructed in him according as [the] truth is in Jesus;

²²da vam je odložiti prijašnje ponašanje, starog čovjeka, koga varave požude vode u propast,

²²[namely] your having put off according to the former conversation the old man which corrupts itself according to the deceitful lusts;

²³a obnavljati se duhom svoje pameti

²³and being renewed in the spirit of your mind;

²⁴i obući novog čovjeka, po Bogu stvorena u pravednosti i svetosti istine.

²⁴and [your] having put on the new man, which according to God is created in truthful righteousness and holiness.

²⁵Zato odložite laž i govorite istinu jedan drugomu jer udovi smo jedni drugima.

²⁵Wherefore, having put off falsehood, speak truth every one with his neighbour, because we are members one of another.

²⁶Srdite se, ali ne griješite! Sunce nek ne zađe nad vašom srdžbom

²⁶Be angry, and do not sin; let not the sun set upon your wrath,

²⁷i ne dajite mjesta đavlu.

²⁷neither give room for the devil.

²⁸Tko je krao, neka više ne krade, nego neka se radije trudi svojim rukama priskrbljivati da ima što podijeliti s potrebnim.

²⁸Let 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.

²⁹Nikakva nevaljala riječ neka ne izlazi iz vaših usta, nego samo dobra, da prema potrebi saziđuje i milost iskaže slušateljima.

²⁹Let 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].

³⁰I ne žalostite Duha Svetoga, Božjega, kojim ste opečaćeni za Dan otkupljenja!

³⁰And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which ye have been sealed for [the] day of redemption.

³¹Daleko od vas svaka gorčina, i srdžba, i gnjev, i vika, i hula sa svom opakošću!

³¹Let all bitterness, and heat of passion, and wrath, and clamour, and injurious language, be removed from you, with all malice;

³²Naprotiv! Budite jedni drugima dobrostivi, milosrdni; praštajte jedni drugima kao što i Bog u Kristu nama oprosti.

³²and be to one another kind, compassionate, forgiving one another, so as God also in Christ has forgiven you.
