Ephesians

I urge you as a prisoner in the path of our mawla to walk in a manner that is appropriate for the call by which God has called you.

With all humility, meekness, and patience, bear with one another with love.

Be careful to protect the unity of Ruh Allah in the bonds of peace.

The body is one and Al-Ruh is one, just like the sure hope to which Allah called you is one.

Our mawla is one, trust in him is one, and the ghusl of faith is one.

Allah is Wahid. He is Al-Malik Al-Rahman of everyone, Al-Muhaymin over everything, working through everything, and present in everything.

Allah gave every one of us a portion of his grace according to the amount of the gift of Al-Masih.

Allah said, "He rose to the highest place, taking prisoners captive, and giving people gifts."

His rising means that he had also descended to the underworld.

The one who descended is the same one who rose above all the heavens, to fill all things.

Among his gifts were messengers, those with the gift of prophecy, agents of spreading the good news, shepherds and teachers. He gave these

to make the holy people would be qualified for works of service. In this way, the body of Al-Masih would be strengthened.

Then we can all arrive at to the unity of trust in Al-Amir, the beloved of Allah, and to deep knowledge of him, to complete guidance, and to the pinnacle of the fullness of the perfection of Al-Masih.

Then we would not remain children, turned over and over by waves of heresy, kidnapped by every wind of teaching of the people of misguidance who slyly deceive.

Rather, we will implement the truth with the motivation of love, and flourish in every aspect as we are united with Al-Masih, who is the head of the jama'a.

In him, the whole body is in harmony, and it is held firmly together with all its connections, and it flourishes and strengthens itself in love according to the effectiveness of each member doing his role.

I tell you, and Allah is Shahid to what I say: Do not walk the way the nations of the polytheists any longer. They have worthless thinking.

Their minds are darkened. They are separated from Allah Al-Hayy because of their ignorance and the hardness of their hearts.

They have lost all feeling and surrendered themselves to immorality, addicted to greedily practicing all uncleanness.

But you did not learn about Al-Masih in this way.

You heard about him and learned from him the truth that is inherent in Isa.

That is, take off your old being and its previous behaviors, which were corrupted by deceitful passions.

Be renewed spiritually in your thinking.

Wear the new being, which Allah created according to his nature, straight and holy in truth.

So stop lying and everyone be truthful with his neighbor, because we are members of one another.

Be angry, but do not make a mistake. Do not let the reason for your anger last until sunset,

and do not give Iblis a place.

The one who used to steal should repent from stealing. Rather, he must do beneficial work with his hands to earn money from his efforts that he can give to the needy.

Do not let a corrupting word come out of your mouths. Rather speak with words that are strengthening and appropriate, so that they can give grace to the hearers.

Do not make holy Ruh Allah grieve; by him, Allah put his seal on you for the day of liberation of the ransomed ones.

Get rid of all bitterness, anger, rage, clamor, slander, and all hatred.

Be kind, compassionate, and pardoning of the bad deeds of others as Allah forgave you your bad deeds by your belonging to Al-Masih.
