I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called,

I then, the prisoner in the Lord, make this request from my heart, that you will see that your behaviour is a credit to the position which God's purpose has given you,

Σας παρακαλω λοιπον εγω ο δεσμιος εν Κυριω να περιπατησητε αξιως της προσκλησεως, καθ' ην προσεκληθητε,

I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called,
