WORD Research this...Ephesians 4
- 1 I, then, the prisoner for the Master's sake, entreat you to live and act as becomes those who have received the call that you have received--
- 2 with all lowliness of mind and unselfishness, and with patience, bearing with one another lovingly, and earnestly striving to maintain,
- 3 in the uniting bond of peace, the unity given by the Spirit.
- 4 There is but one body and but one Spirit, as also when you were called you had one and the same hope held out to you.
- 5 There is but one Lord, one faith, one baptism,
- 6 and one God and Father of all, who rules over all, acts through all, and dwells in all.
- 7 Yet to each of us individually grace was given, measured out with the munificence of Christ.
-
8 For this reason Scripture says:
"He re-ascended on high, He led captive a host of captives, and gave gifts to men." - 9 (Now this "re-ascended" --what does it mean but that He had first descended into the lower regions of the earth?
- 10 He who descended is the same as He who ascended again far above all the Heavens in order to fill the universe.)
- 11 And He Himself appointed some to be Apostles, some to be Prophets, some to be evangelists, some to be pastors and teachers,
- 12 in order fully to equip His people for the work of serving--for the building up of Christ's body--
- 13 till we all of us arrive at oneness in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and at mature manhood and the stature of full-grown men in Christ.
- 14 So we shall no longer be babes nor shall we resemble mariners tossed on the waves and carried about with every changing wind of doctrine according to men's cleverness and unscrupulous cunning, making use of every shifting device to mislead.
- 15 But we shall lovingly hold to the truth, and shall in all respects grow up into union with Him who is our Head, even Christ.
- 16 Dependent on Him, the whole body--its various parts closely fitting and firmly adhering to one another-- grows by the aid of every contributory link, with power proportioned to the need of each individual part, so as to build itself up in a spirit of love.
- 17 Therefore I warn you, and I implore you in the name of the Master, no longer to live as the Gentiles in their perverseness live,
- 18 with darkened understandings, having by reason of the ignorance which is deep-seated in them and the insensibility of their moral nature, no share in the Life which God gives.
- 19 Such men being past feeling have abandoned themselves to impurity, greedily indulging in every kind of profligacy.
- 20 But these are not the lessons which you have learned from Christ;
- 21 if at least you have heard His voice and in Him have been taught--and this is true Christian teaching--
- 22 to put away, in regard to your former mode of life, your original evil nature which is doomed to perish as befits its misleading impulses,
- 23 and to get yourselves renewed in the temper of your minds and clothe yourselves
- 24 with that new and better self which has been created to resemble God in the righteousness and holiness which come from the truth.
- 25 For this reason, laying aside falsehood, every one of you should speak the truth to his fellow man; for we are, as it were, parts of one another.
- 26 If angry, beware of sinning. Let not your irritation last until the sun goes down;
- 27 and do not leave room for the Devil.
- 28 He who has been a thief must steal no more, but, instead of that, should work with his own hands in honest industry, so that he may have something of which he can give the needy a share.
- 29 Let no unwholesome words ever pass your lips, but let all your words be good for benefiting others according to the need of the moment, so that they may be a means of blessing to the hearers.
- 30 And beware of grieving the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you have been sealed in preparation for the day of Redemption.
- 31 Let all bitterness and all passionate feeling, all anger and loud insulting language, be unknown among you--and also every kind of malice.
- 32 On the contrary learn to be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ has also forgiven 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.
