Ephesians 2

1 And to you did he give life, when you were dead through your wrongdoing and sins,

And you being dead in the trespasses and in the sins (of you, *no*)

2 In which you were living in the past, after the ways of this present world, doing the pleasure of the lord of the power of the air, the spirit who is now working in those who go against the purpose of God; (aiōn g165)

in which once you walked according to the age world of this, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit now working in the sons of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

3 Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

among whom also we ourselves all lived once in the desires of the flesh of us doing the things willed of the flesh and of [its] thoughts and (we were *N(k)O*) children by nature of wrath as even the rest.

4 But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

But God rich being in mercy because of the great love of Him with which He loved us,

5 Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

even being we dead in trespasses made [us] alive with Christ — by grace you are saved.

6 So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;

and He raised [us] up together and He seated [us] together in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,

7 That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus: (aiōn g165)

in order that He may show in the ages that [are] coming (the surpassing riches *N(k)O*) of the grace of Him in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

8 Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:

For by grace you are saved through (*k*) faith, and this not of yourselves, [it is] of God the gift,

9 Not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.

not as a result of works, so that not anyone may boast.

10 For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.

Of Him for we are workmanship having been created in Christ Jesus for works good which prepared beforehand God, that in them we may walk.

11 For this reason keep it in mind that in the past you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are looked on as being outside the circumcision by those who have circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;

Therefore do remember that formerly you yourselves the Gentiles in [the] flesh, the ones being named [the] uncircumcision by which is being named [the] circumcision in [the] flesh made by hands —

12 That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

for you were (in *k*) time that [very] separate from Christ alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, hope not having and without God in the world;

13 But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

Now however in Christ Jesus you yourselves the [ones] once being far off have become near by the blood of Christ.

14 For he is our peace, who has made the two into one, and by whom the middle wall of division has been broken down,

he himself for is the peace of us, which having made both one and the barrier of the fence having broken down,

15 Having in his flesh put an end to that which made the division between us, even the law with its rules and orders, so that he might make in himself, of the two, one new man, so making peace;

the hostility in the flesh of Him, the law of commandments in ordinances having annulled, so that the two He may create in (Him *N(k)O*) into one new man making peace,

16 And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

and He may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross having slain the hostility by it;

17 And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

And having come He evangelised peace to you the [ones] far off and (peace *no*) to those [who are] near,

18 Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

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

19 So then you are no longer as those who have no part or place in the kingdom of God, but you are numbered among the saints, and of the family of God,

So then no longer no longer are you strangers and aliens, but (are *no*) fellow citizens of the saints and of the household of God

20 Resting on the base of the Apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief keystone,

having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, being [the] cornerstone Himself Christ Jesus

21 In whom all the building, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord;

in whom [the] whole (*k*) building being fitted together is increasing into a temple holy in [the] Lord,

22 In whom you, with the rest, are united together as a living-place of God in the Spirit.

in whom also you yourselves are being built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.
