WORD Research this...Ephesians 4
- 1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,
- 2 with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
- 3 giving diligence to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
- 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as also ye were called in one hope of your calling;
- 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
- 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in all.
- 7 But unto each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
- 8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men.
- 9 (Now this, He ascended, what is it but that he also descended into the lower parts of the earth?
- 10 He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)
- 11 And he gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
- 12 for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ:
- 13 till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
- 14 that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
- 15 but speaking truth in love, may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ;
- 16 from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.
- 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind,
- 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 heart;
- 19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
- 20 But ye did not so learn Christ;
- 21 if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
- 22 that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
- 23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
- 24 and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
- 25 Wherefore, putting away falsehood, speak ye truth each one with his neighbor: 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 labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
- 29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.
- 30 And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, in whom ye were sealed unto the day of redemption.
- 31 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice:
- 32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you.

American Standard Version (asv - 2)
2021-02-18English (en)
The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.
The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.
While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.
Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.- Encoding: UTF-8

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
