4:1
አስተብቍዐክሙአነሙቁሕበክርስቶስከመትሑሩበዘይደልዋለጽዋዔክሙዘተጸዋዕክሙ።
I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to walk worthily of the calling with which you were called,
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,
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;
使我們不再作小孩子，中了人的詭計和欺騙的法術，被一切異教之風搖動，飄來飄去，就隨從各樣的異端；
4:15
አላንጽደቅእንከበተፋቅሮወንብዛኅበኵሉዘብነበክርስቶስዘውእቱርእስ።
but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,
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.
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,
所以我說，且在主裏確實地說，你們行事不要再像外邦人存虛妄的心行事。
