I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
Παρακαλῶ οὖν ὑμᾶς ἐγώ, ὁ δέσμιος ἐν Κυρίῳ, ἀξίως περιπατῆσαι τῆς κλήσεως ἧς ἐκλήθητε,
Parakalō oyn ymas egō, o desmios en Kyriō, axiōs peripatēsai tēs klēseōs ēs eklēthēte,
