Ephesians 2

1 And you, when you were dead in your offences, and sins,

Also you—being dead in trespasses and sins,

2 Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of this air, of the spirit that now worketh on the children of unbelief: (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 In which also we all conversed in time past, in the desires of our flesh, fulfilling the will of the flesh and of our thoughts, and were by nature children 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, (who is rich in mercy, ) for his exceeding charity wherewith he loved us,

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

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together in Christ, (by whose grace you are saved, )

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

6 And hath raised us up together, and hath made us sit together in the heavenly places, through Christ Jesus.

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

7 That he might shew in the ages to come the abundant riches of his grace, in his bounty 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 by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God;

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

9 Not of works, that no man may glory.

not of works, that no one may boast;

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath 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 For which cause be mindful that you, being heretofore Gentiles in the flesh, who are called uncircumcision by that which is called circumcision in the flesh, made by hands;

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 you were at that time without Christ, being aliens from the conversation of Israel, and strangers to the testament, having no hope of the promise, and without God in this 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, you, who some time were afar off, are made nigh by the blood of 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 hath made both one, and breaking down the middle wall of partition, the enmities in his flesh:

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

15 Making void the law of commandments contained in decrees; that he might make 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 to God in one body by the cross, killing the enmities in himself.

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

17 And coming, he preached peace to you that were afar off, and peace to them that were nigh.

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

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

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

19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners; but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and the domestics 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 Built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief 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, being framed together, groweth up into an holy temple in the Lord.

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

22 In whom you also are built together into an habitation of God in the Spirit.

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