Ephesians 2

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

And you [did he quicken], when ye were dead through your 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)

wherein aforetime ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that now worketh 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 once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest: —

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

but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

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

even when we were dead through our trespasses, quickened us together with Christ (by grace have ye been 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 with him, and made us to sit with him 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 in the ages to come he might shew 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 have ye been saved through faith; and that 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 man should glory.

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 for good works, which God afore prepared that we should 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;

Wherefore remember, that aforetime ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is 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 ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from 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 ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of 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 brake down the middle wall of partition,

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;

having abolished in his flesh the enmity, [even] the law of commandments [contained] in ordinances; that he might create in himself of the twain one new man, [so] making peace;

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

and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

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 he came and preached peace to you that were far off, and peace to them that were nigh:

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

for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto 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,

So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, 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 upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;

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

in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;

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

in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
