Kehilah In Ephesus 4:1-10 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

1. Therefore I impart chizzuk (strengthening) to you, I, the prisoner of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu, and I admonish you to walk and fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech in a manner worthy of the kri'ah by which you were called,

2. With all anavah (humility) of mind and meekness, with savlanut (longsuffering), showing forbearance to one another in ahavah,

3. Being eager to keep the achdus (unity) of the Ruach Hakodesh in the uniting bond of shalom;

4. As there is one guf (body) [Gn 47:18; Ps 16:9-10; Job 19:25-27; Isa 53:11] and one Ruach Hakodesh, as also you were called in one tikvah (hope) of your kri'ah:

5. Adon echad, emunah achat, tevilah achat,

6. One G-d and Avi khol (Father of all), who is over all and through all and in all. [DEVARIM 6:4; ZECHARYAH 14:9]

7. But to each of us was given the Chen v'Chesed Hashem according to the measure of the Matnat HaMoshiach.

8. Therefore it says, ALITA LAMMAROM SHAVITA SHEVI LAKACHTA MATANOT ("You ascended to the height, you led captive, you received gifts" TEHILLIM 68:19 [18]), He has led captive a host of captives, He had brought matanot (gifts) to Bnei Adam.

9. Now if He "ASCENDED" what can it mean except that also He descended into the lower parts of ha'aretz?

10. The one who descended is Himself also the one having ascended far above all the Shomayim, that He might fill all things. [MISHLE 30:1-4]
