Ephesians 2

1 And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,

and you, being dead in your offences and sins —

2 Wherein, in times past ye walked, according to the course of this world, and after the prince that ruleth in the aire, euen the spirite, that nowe worketh in the children of disobedience, (aiōn g165)

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)

3 Among whom we also had our conuersation in time past, in the lustes of our flesh, in fulfilling the will of the flesh, and of the minde, and were by nature the children of wrath, as well as others.

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:

4 But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,

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

5 Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,

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

6 And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,

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

7 That he might shewe in the ages to come the exceeding riches of his grace, through his kindnesse toward vs in Christ Iesus. (aiōn g165)

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

8 For by grace are ye saued through faith, and that not of your selues: it is the gift of God,

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

9 Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.

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

10 For we are his workemanship created in Christ Iesus vnto good workes, which God hath ordeined, that we should walke in them.

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.

11 Wherefore remember that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, and called vncircumcision of them, which are called circumcision in the flesh, made with hands,

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

12 That ye were, I say, at that time without Christ, and were alients from the common wealth of Israel, and were strangers from the couenants of promise, and had no hope, and were without God in the world.

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:

13 But nowe in Christ Iesus, ye which once were farre off, are made neere by the blood of Christ.

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

14 For he is our peace, which hath made of both one, and hath broken the stoppe of the partition wall,

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

15 In abrogating through his flesh the hatred, that is, the Lawe of commandements which standeth in ordinances, for to make of twaine one newe man in himselfe, so making peace,

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;

16 And that he might reconcile both vnto God in one body by his crosse, and slay hatred thereby,

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

17 And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.

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.

18 For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.

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

19 Nowe therefore ye are no more strangers and forreiners: but citizens with the Saintes, and of the houshold of God,

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

20 And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets, Iesus Christ himselfe being the chiefe corner stone,

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

21 In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.

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

22 In whom ye also are built together to be the habitation of God by the Spirit.

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