Ephesians 2
1 And you hath he quickened, that were dead in trespasses and sinnes,
You, who were dead in trespasses and in your 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 at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working 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 all indeed at one time lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the thoughts, and we were by nature the children of wrath, like the rest also:
4 But God which is rich in mercie, through his great loue wherewith he loued vs,
but God, being rich in mercy, on account of his great love with which he loved us,
5 Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickened vs together in Christ, by whose grace ye are saued,
created life in us in Christ, who were dead in trespasses, by grace you have been saved,
6 And hath raysed vs vp together, and made vs sit together in the heauenly places in Christ Iesus,
and he has raised you up, and caused you to sit 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)
in order that he may show in coming ages the superabounding riches of his grace in kindness toward 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 by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of workes, least any man should boast himselfe.
not of works, in order that no one may 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 unto good works, which God 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,
Therefore remember, that when you were Gentiles in the flesh, called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, made in the flesh with hands;
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.
because you were at that time without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers of the covenants of the promise, having no hope and being atheists 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 you are in Christ Jesus, who being at one time far off have been made nigh by the blood of 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, the one having made both one, and having broken down the middle wall of partition,
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 destroyed the law of commandments in ordinances, through his flesh, the enmity, in order that He might create 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 that he may reconcile both in one body to God through the cross, having slain the enmity on in.
17 And came, and preached peace to you which were afarre off, and to them that were neere.
And having come he preached the gospel of peace to you, who were far away, and peace to them who were nigh:
18 For through him we both haue an entrance vnto the Father by one Spirit.
because through him we both have access in 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,
Then therefore you are no longer strangers and sojourners, but fellow-citizens of the saints, and members 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,
having been built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone,
21 In whom all the building coupled together, groweth vnto an holy Temple in the Lord.
in whom the entire edifice, being assimilated, increases into 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 also you are built together into a habitation of God in the Spirit.
