Ephesians 2

1 Even you, who were dead in trespasses and sins

And you hath he made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 in which ye once walked according to the era of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)

In which in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

3 Among whom we also all once behaved in the lusts of our flesh, doing the intentions of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath as also the others.

Among whom also we all had our manner of life in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, being rich in mercy, through his great love that he loved us,

But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us,

5 even us being dead in the transgressions, he made alive together with the Christ (ye are saved by grace),

Even when we were dead in sins, hath made us alive together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved; )

6 and raised us up together, and seated us together in the heavenly things in Christ Jesus.

And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:

7 So that in the coming ages he might show the transcending wealth of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

That in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 For ye are saved by grace through faith, and this a gift of God, not from you,

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 not from works, so that not any man may boast.

Not by works, lest any man should boast.

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God preordained that we should walk in them.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

11 Remember therefore that once ye, the Gentiles in flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision (in flesh, made by hands),

Therefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

12 that ye were at that time independent of Christ, alienated from the citizenship of Israel, and alien of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and godless in the world.

That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world:

13 But now in Christ Jesus ye, being formerly far off, became near in the blood of the Christ.

But now in Christ Jesus ye who once were far off are made near by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the dividing wall of partition,

For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us;

15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity-the law of the commandments in ordinances-so that he might create in himself the two into one new man, making peace,

Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; to make in himself of two one new man, so making peace;

16 and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity by it.

And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having by himself slain the enmity:

17 And after coming he preached good news, peace to you, to those far off and to those near,

And came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to them that were near.

18 because through him we both have the access in one Spirit to the Father.

For through him we both have an access by one Spirit to the Father.

19 So then ye are no more alien and foreign, but fellow citizens of the sanctified, and belonging to the household of God.

Now therefore ye are no more strangers and aliens, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

20 Which was built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner,

And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

21 in whom the whole building joined together grows into a holy temple in the Lord,

In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth to an holy temple in the Lord:

22 in whom ye also are built together in Spirit into a habitation of God.

In whom ye also are built together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
