Ephesians 2
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,
2 in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience. (aiōn g165)
Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience, (aiōn g165)
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, fulfilling the cravings of our flesh and indulging its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature children of wrath.
Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.
4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,
7 in order that in the coming ages He might display the surpassing riches of His grace, demonstrated by His kindness to us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)
That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus. (aiōn g165)
8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,
For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.
10 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.
For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.
11 Therefore remember that formerly you who are Gentiles in the flesh and called uncircumcised by the so-called circumcision (that done in the body by human hands)—
Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,
12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.
That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,
15 by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace
In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace,
16 and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.
18 For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.
19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,
21 In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.
22 And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.
