< Ephesians 2 >
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins,
και υμας οντας νεκρους τοις παραπτωμασιν και ταις αμαρτιαις
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 )
εν αις ποτε περιεπατησατε κατα τον αιωνα του κοσμου τουτου κατα τον αρχοντα της εξουσιας του αερος του πνευματος του νυν ενεργουντος εν τοις υιοις της απειθειας (aiōn )
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.
εν οις και ημεις παντες ανεστραφημεν ποτε εν ταις επιθυμιαις της σαρκος ημων ποιουντες τα θεληματα της σαρκος και των διανοιων και ημεν τεκνα φυσει οργης ως και οι λοιποι
4 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
ο δε θεος πλουσιος ων εν ελεει δια την πολλην αγαπην αυτου ην ηγαπησεν ημας
5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our trespasses. It is by grace you have been saved!
και οντας ημας νεκρους τοις παραπτωμασιν συνεζωοποιησεν τω χριστω χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,
και συνηγειρεν και συνεκαθισεν εν τοις επουρανιοις εν χριστω ιησου
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 )
ινα ενδειξηται εν τοις αιωσιν τοις επερχομενοις τον υπερβαλλοντα πλουτον της χαριτος αυτου εν χρηστοτητι εφ ημας εν χριστω ιησου (aiōn )
8 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,
τη γαρ χαριτι εστε σεσωσμενοι δια της πιστεως και τουτο ουκ εξ υμων θεου το δωρον
9 not by works, so that no one can boast.
ουκ εξ εργων ινα μη τις καυχησηται
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.
αυτου γαρ εσμεν ποιημα κτισθεντες εν χριστω ιησου επι εργοις αγαθοις οις προητοιμασεν ο θεος ινα εν αυτοις περιπατησωμεν
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)—
διο μνημονευετε οτι υμεις ποτε τα εθνη εν σαρκι οι λεγομενοι ακροβυστια υπο της λεγομενης περιτομης εν σαρκι χειροποιητου
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.
οτι ητε εν τω καιρω εκεινω χωρις χριστου απηλλοτριωμενοι της πολιτειας του ισραηλ και ξενοι των διαθηκων της επαγγελιας ελπιδα μη εχοντες και αθεοι εν τω κοσμω
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ.
νυνι δε εν χριστω ιησου υμεις οι ποτε οντες μακραν εγγυς εγενηθητε εν τω αιματι του χριστου
14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility
αυτος γαρ εστιν η ειρηνη ημων ο ποιησας τα αμφοτερα εν και το μεσοτοιχον του φραγμου λυσας
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
την εχθραν εν τη σαρκι αυτου τον νομον των εντολων εν δογμασιν καταργησας ινα τους δυο κτιση εν εαυτω εις ενα καινον ανθρωπον ποιων ειρηνην
16 and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility.
και αποκαταλλαξη τους αμφοτερους εν ενι σωματι τω θεω δια του σταυρου αποκτεινας την εχθραν εν αυτω
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
και ελθων ευηγγελισατο ειρηνην υμιν τοις μακραν και τοις εγγυς
18 For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
οτι δι αυτου εχομεν την προσαγωγην οι αμφοτεροι εν ενι πνευματι προς τον πατερα
19 Therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,
αρα ουν ουκετι εστε ξενοι και παροικοι αλλα συμπολιται των αγιων και οικειοι του θεου
20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the cornerstone.
εποικοδομηθεντες επι τω θεμελιω των αποστολων και προφητων οντος ακρογωνιαιου αυτου ιησου χριστου
21 In Him the whole building is fitted together and grows into a holy temple in the Lord.
εν ω πασα η οικοδομη συναρμολογουμενη αυξει εις ναον αγιον εν κυριω
22 And in Him you too are being built together into a dwelling place for God in His Spirit.
εν ω και υμεις συνοικοδομεισθε εις κατοικητηριον του θεου εν πνευματι
