Ephesians 2

1 and you, being dead in your offences and sins —

Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,

2 in which ye once walked according to the age of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience: (aiōn g165)

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

3 among whom we also all once had our conversation in the lusts of our flesh, doing what the flesh and the thoughts willed to do, and were children, by nature, of wrath, even as the rest:

among whom we also all walked once in the desires of our flesh, doing the wishes of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath—as also the others,

4 but God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love wherewith he loved us,

but God, being rich in kindness, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 (we too being dead in offences, ) has quickened us with the Christ, (ye are saved by grace, )

even being dead in the trespasses, made us alive together with the Christ (by grace you are saved),

6 and has raised [us] up together, and has made [us] sit down together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,

and raised [us] up together, and sat [us] together in the heavenly [places] in Christ Jesus,

7 that he might display in the coming ages the surpassing riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus. (aiōn g165)

that He might show, in the ages that are coming, the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus, (aiōn g165)

8 For ye are saved by grace, through faith; and this not of yourselves; it is God's gift:

for by grace you are saved, through faith, and this [is] not of yourselves—[it is] the gift of God,

9 not on the principle of works, that no one might boast.

not of works, that no one may boast;

10 For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God has before prepared that we should walk in them.

for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus on good works, which God prepared before, that we may walk in them.

11 Wherefore remember that ye, once nations in [the] flesh, who [are] called uncircumcision by that called circumcision in [the] flesh done with the hand;

For this reason, remember, that you [were] once the nations in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that called Circumcision in the flesh made by hands,

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

that you were at that time apart from Christ, having been alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope, and without God in the world;

13 but now in Christ Jesus ye who once were afar off are become nigh by the blood of the Christ.

but now, in Christ Jesus, you being once far off became near in the blood of the Christ,

14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of enclosure,

for He is our peace, who made both one, and broke down the middle wall of the partition of hostility,

15 having annulled the enmity in his flesh, the law of commandments in ordinances, that he might form the two in himself into one new man, making peace;

the enmity in His flesh, having done away [with] the Law of the commands in ordinances, that He might create the two into one new man in Himself, making peace,

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

and might reconcile both in one body to God through the Cross, having slain the enmity by it,

17 and, coming, he has preached the glad tidings of peace to you who [were] afar off, and [the glad tidings of] peace to those [who were] nigh.

and having come, He proclaimed good news—peace to you—the far-off and the near,

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

because through Him we have the access—we both—in one Spirit to the Father.

19 So then ye are no longer strangers and foreigners, but ye are fellow-citizens of the saints, and of the household of God,

Then, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow-citizens of the holy ones, and of the household of God,

20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the corner-stone,

being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being chief corner-[stone],

21 in whom all [the] building fitted together increases to a holy temple in the Lord;

in whom all the building fitly framed together increases to a holy temple in the LORD,

22 in whom ye also are built together for a habitation of God in [the] Spirit.

in whom you also are built together, for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
