WORD Research this...Ephesians 4
- 1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
- 2 with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love;
- 3 being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
- 4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as you also 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 us all.
- 7 But to each one of us was the grace given according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
- 8 Therefore he says, “When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.”
- 9 Now this, “He ascended”, what is it but that he also first descended into the lower parts of the earth?
- 10 He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.
- 11 He gave some to be apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, shepherds and teachers;
- 12 for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ;
- 13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a full grown man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;
- 14 that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error;
- 15 but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ;
- 16 from whom all the body, being fitted and knit together through that which every joint supplies, according to the working in measure of each individual part, makes the body increase to the building up of itself in love.
- 17 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles also walk, in the futility 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 hearts;
- 19 who having become callous gave themselves up to lust, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
- 20 But you did not learn Christ that way;
- 21 if indeed you heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
- 22 that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
- 23 and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind,
- 24 and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.
- 25 Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.
- 26 “Be angry, and don’t sin.” Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath,
- 27 neither give place to the devil.
- 28 Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.
- 29 Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.
- 30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
- 31 Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice.
- 32 And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you.

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.
